Multi-Material Printing Multi-material printing allows a 3D printer to use two or more different filaments within a single print job. This capability enables color transitions, dissolvable supports, and the combination of flexible and rigid materials. Dual-extrusion systems or tool-changing mechanisms are commonly used for multi-material printing, while advanced techniques like palette splicing allow single-nozzle multi-filament switching. Proper calibration is essential to prevent material contamination or misalignment between layers. Multi-material printing is widely used for functional prototypes, medical models, and artistic applications, offering greater design flexibility compared to single-material prints |
