Objet Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, demonstrates a full-size folding stool able to support over 100 kg. Like the Objet 3D-printed skateboard (video), Objet engineers printed the stool in a single print job, using the new Objet ABS-like Digital Material (RGD5160-DM) – a new functionally advanced material which is jetted as a composite material on the Objet Connex multi‑material 3D printer (video).
The folding stool, which sits 48 cm (19 inches) off the ground, has similar high dimensional stability, thermal resistance, and toughness as ABS-grade engineering plastics, enabling it to repeatedly sustain the weight of a person.
