| At the 2017 formnext event in Frankfurt, Germany, 3D printing giant Stratasys released a highly anticipated new software, GrabCAD Voxel Print, that implements voxels (smallest building blocks) for the entire design and 3D printing process of a product. Level of control, so that products get unprecedented excellent properties and effects, such as color gradient.  'With GrabCAD Voxel Print, we can better leverage the power of our unique PolyJet multi-material full-color 3D printing technology to deliver more customer benefits. Customers will be able to manipulate thousands of materials at the voxel level to create compliant Accurate 3D model, and this can not be achieved in any other way. In fact, it has turned the Stratasys J750 3D printer into a world-class, high-end platform for experimentation, discovery and innovation. "Gina, Director of Global Education Markets at Stratasys Scala said. GrabCAD Voxel Print will work with Stratasys' J750 full-color 3D printer and its digital material, created in-camera with PolyJet photopolymer, to manipulate the concentration, texture and color distribution of these materials at the voxel level. This means users can create new digital materials to meet previously unattainable needs such as color gradients, internal properties, and textures. "LAIKA is rejuvenating traditional stop-motion animation with 3D printing," said Brian McLean, head of rapid prototyping at LAIKA. 'Stratasys' multi-material PolyJet technology allows our animators to create the most accurate, Complex, and creative character, this level of detail is crucial to making custom animations frame by frame. ' With GrabCAD Voxel Print, users can assign properties to each layer at the voxel level using their own model slicers, and the software can then generate a GrabCAD Voxel file that can be loaded directly into GrabCAD and then 3D printed on the J750. It is also worth mentioning that Stratasys also announced a partnership with e-Xstream, a software and engineering services firm, that will focus on multi-scale modeling of composites and structures and eventually develop the high performance for Stratasys 3D printers Process modeling and structural analysis numerical tools.The two companies believe Stratasys 3D printers and e-Xstream's digital tools combine to deliver high-performance design and verification capabilities.
