Model Multi-Material parts for 3D Printers

john_kuyperjohn_kuyper Member Posts: 29 EDU
I was just participating in a Webinar about 3D printers.  There is research towards printing parts with varying material properties.  For example, you can 3D print a shoe sole.  The bottom of the shoe would be a tough, hard material.  The top would be a soft material that is comfortable to walk on.  This part could be 3D printed (instead of bonding layers).

In the Webinar, they mentioned that although 3D printers are capable of printing such parts, there is no CAD system that can design it.  Maybe Onshape could address this issue?
