Stratasys Launches J750 Full-Color Multi-Material 3D Printer
A single system can produce highly realistic 3D printed outputs.

Stratasys, a global 3D printing company, has set another milestone in the 3D printer industry.

On the 27th, Stratasys Korea officially unveiled the world's first "full-color multi-material" 3D printer, the "J750," at a product launch event. This product is the top model in Stratasys' "Objet Connex" series, a line of multi-color multi-material 3D printers.

Daniel Thompson, Country Manager of Stratasys Korea, highlighted three key features of this new 3D printer: realism, versatility, and productivity. In short, the J750 offers designers and engineers a one-stop solution for creating highly realistic prototypes that mirror the final product, offering cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

With this product, Stratasys has strengthened its leadership in the prototyping market and announced its intention to focus more fully on the manufacturing industry. “The Asian region has a strong prototyping market, so there is a lot of room for growth in 3D printing in the manufacturing industry,” said CEO Thompson. “The Korean market needs to recognize that 3D printing is a useful tool in the manufacturing industry.”

He confidently predicted that 3D printers would account for 50% of the prototyping market by 2025, with Stratasys likely to capture a significant portion of that market. He also predicted that 3D printers would play a growing role in the tooling market.

CEO Thompson's optimism about the market stems in part from the unique features of the newly launched J750. This 3D printer allows users to select and combine full-color gradients with a wide range of materials, enabling the creation of highly realistic products without the need for post-processing.

In particular, it can implement a wide range of material properties, ranging from solid to rubbery, opaque to transparent, along with over 360,000 different colors. The company emphasized that the ability to simultaneously express a variety of colors, materials, and material properties in a single part enables the rapid production of realistic prototypes in almost all fields. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including tooling, injection molds, jigs, and fixture manufacturing, expanding the usability of designers and engineers.

“The J750 offers six material channels and full color capabilities for simultaneous mixing and prototyping, allowing for infinite combinations to achieve the desired results,” said Fred Fischer, Stratasys Asia Pacific Director of Products and Applications. “The head also features innovative technology, resulting in superior resolution and detail, and speeds that are more than twice as fast as previous PolyJet products.”

This product features PolyJet Studio software, enabling a streamlined workflow. Based on an intuitive interface, PolyJet Studio offers users options for easier material selection, design optimization, and print management. The familiar design control panel allows for easy adjustments to color, transparency, and stiffness.


▲ CEO Daniel Thompson described the new product in three words: authenticity, versatility, and productivity.

Color textures can be set via VRML files imported from CAD tools, and the ability to accommodate six large materials minimizes the time required for material replacement. A newly designed, state-of-the-art print head reduces the time required to simulate engineering plastics such as Digital ABS by nearly half compared to conventional PolyJet systems.

It's not just about functionality. Stratasys has also invested heavily in enhancing product reliability. To ensure product reliability, they have undergone extensive testing and offer a three-year warranty after launch. This is why Director Fisher emphasized this as "unprecedented in the industry."


▲ Fred Fisher, Director of Products and Applications, Asia Pacific, emphasized that the J750 is a flagship product.

Stratasys has repeatedly stated that the 3D printing industry is on a journey with its customers. Ultimately, its strategy is to maximize customization through collaboration with customers to meet their needs. The company added that it has enhanced its account functionality and added three channels for its subsidiary, MakerBot, to enhance customer intimacy.

“MakerBot is expanding its supply, primarily for concept models, for personal and educational use,” said CEO Thompson. “We aim to create products that make 3D printing more accessible to individuals and designers,” he said. “We also plan to help verify products through programs like application validation to increase customer intimacy, and share the product’s applicable areas and benefits with purchasing customers.”

When 3D printing and design meet...

Meanwhile, at the presentation held that day, various design products and production processes, such as headphones and speakers produced with the J750 3D printer, were introduced through collaboration with INNO Design (CEO Kim Young-se), one of the best design companies in Korea.

InnoDesign Chairman Kim Young-se attended and introduced the InnoWAVE headphones, InnoFlask™ portable speaker, and kitchen utensils that utilize the full color and composite material capabilities of the J750.

Chairman Kim Young-se, holding a headphone made with J750, said, “3D printing is changing the concept of design,” adding, “Headphones that used to take months to make are now"We were able to design and prototype the phone in just a few days. This aligns well with Innodesign's stated concept of 'design is the art of selling technology,'" he said. He emphasized that 3D printing, which streamlines the design process, will allow us to move from mass production to a more personalized approach.
