Core-Shell Printing Core-shell printing is an advanced 3D printing technique that creates objects with a solid or structured inner core and a different material or texture as the outer shell. This method is commonly used for multi-material printing or to enhance specific properties of a part. For instance, the core can provide strength and rigidity, while the shell offers flexibility, aesthetics, or resistance to environmental factors. Core-shell printing requires dual-extrusion printers or specialized equipment capable of handling multiple materials. This approach is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods industries to achieve lightweight, functional, and visually appealing designs. |
