Case Study: Singapore University of Technology and Design achieves voxel-level multi-material design breakthroughs with Stratasys GrabCAD Voxel Print

Researchers Explore Groundbreaking Design at a Microscopic Scale with GrabCad Voxel Print

Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), through its Digital Manufacturing and Design Center (DManD), aimed to push additive manufacturing into multi-material, voxel-level design to create multifunctional components and study structural joinery and soft-lattice behaviors. To meet this challenge they worked with Stratasys, using the GrabCAD Voxel Print utility on the Stratasys J750 multi‑material 3D printer.

Stratasys’ solution—combining GrabCAD Voxel Print with SUTD’s custom slicers—enabled voxel-by-voxel deposition of gradients in VeroClear, Vero PureWhite and TangoPlus on the Stratasys J750, producing an interlocking 3D‑printed table that withstands structural loads without mechanical fasteners and multi-material soft-lattice prototypes for footwear. The work delivered new digital materials and unprecedented microstructure control, accelerating prototyping and yielding measurable functional parts and validated structural behavior.
