Stratasys® recently rolled out some new vivid materials for the J750™/J735™ and Connex3 printers. This tutorial will explain what new capabilities these vivids offer and some different ideas for applications. We will be posting a second tutorial that will walk through how to print with the materials.

Our previous vivid tutorial discussed the expanded capabilities and applications of the new vivid materials. Among the things we mentioned were expanded color selection, increased control over color selection, increased automation in color proofing, brighter whites, smoother color gradients, and of course, transparency and vividness. We explained how this enables applications like rapid prototyping for transparent parts, Perspex® imitations, and transparent vividness for parts like toys and light covers. This tutorial covers the technical specs and explains how to use them to print opaque and transparent parts.
