Multi-Material 3D Printers: Ceramics, Metals and More Material
With an AMAREA multi-material 3D printer based on the Multi Material Jetting (MMJ) technology you can produce parts and components by combining different materials of the same class of materials, such as metals, ceramics, and plastics and even combine different classes of materials – all in a single build job.
Combine materials to combine material properties for more functionality in structural parts and components.
For example. to produce a heated shaping tool, instead of manufacturing separate parts and assembling them, just integrate a heater directly into a shaping tool at the spot where the heat is needed for an effective and efficient process.
Process chain:
The overall process chain is a sintering process chain based on powder technology, i.e. parts from the 3D printer are so-called green parts. Green parts are thermally processed after 3D printing, i.e. debinded and sintered.

Technically, any material powder can be transformed into a 3D-printable material, depending on the powder properties. Hence, materials which are not already in our portfolio can be added swiftly. Just supply the material powder or let us source it for you and we custom-make a 3D-printable material for you.
Deliverables
(1) Producing innovative parts that were previously to produce not possible with only a single material.
(2) Reducing complex production pipelines for assemblies to Multi-material additive manufacturing of an assembly as a single part in a single build job.
(3) Miniturization and function integration in a single build job.
AMAREAs Multi Material Jetting (MMJ) technology revolutionizes production through the possibilities of additive manufacturing using and combining different high-performance ceramics and metals in a single build job.
Combining different materials to a single part equipes the part with a combination of different functional properties. Feasable combinations of functional properties are (among others):
a) hard + ductile
b) electrically conductive + insulating
c) luminscent + dark
d) thermally conductive + insulating
e) multi-color
f) dense + porous
Add more materials.
Add more functional properties.
Add more value.
