This article introduces a custom-built multimaterial 3D printer that is capable of depositing three different materials during one print. The printer utilizes both continuous and droplet direct-write methods. The printer itself is fully controlled via LabVIEW, allowing all aspects of the printing process to be adjusted, and the geometry for the printer is processed via a point-cloud method. This represents the first multimaterial printer to fabricate a composite object made from metal, rubber, and plastic all within one print. There is a good resemblance between the original design and the final printed component, further advancing the capability for multimaterial printing.
