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.
Â
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.
