4.0—OpenVCAD: Volumetric Multi-Material 3D Models

Software that can create high-resolution multi-material 3D printable models. Instead of the current boundary-based multi-material 3D printing, this software can change materials on a voxel-by-voxel basis, allowing for material properties that cannot be created with any current additive manufacturing CAD software.

Inventor: Robert MacCurdy (CU Boulder Paul M. Rady Mechanical Engineering)

Potential Applications: Software, Manufacturing, Additive Manufacturing
