In the past few years, new materials have been introduced that come closer than ever to producing prototypes that look and act like production parts. 22 A new prototyping machine can simultaneously jet two different materials for prototyping co-injected or overmolded parts. The system can also blend the materials in different proportions, enabling production of a multiple-material model in a single build. 24 motors 24 Magnetic fields generated by traditional motors can play havoc when used in or near certain medical devices. For these applications, nonmagnetic piezo and pneumatic motors might be the answer. electronics COVER New rapid prototyping materials have hit the market that offer expanded mechanical properties, improved appearances, and more functionality. For instance, this fan was made with DMX-SL 100, a new stereolithography material from DSM Somos, which was designed for high durability and direct manufacturing applications. It has a stiffness similar to standard ABS-like SL resins, but with more than twice the impact strength. For more information on this and many other new materials, see story on page 12.
