This industrial printer is made by Arburg, and it can create products containing both hard and soft parts at the same time. Dubbed Freeformer, it uses a technique called Plastic Freeforming to take 3D CAD data and make parts out of liquid plastic. It doesn't need molds either.

The printer uses a stationary nozzle to spray plastic on a moving platform. The platform is shifted to gradually build up layers of material and the deposited material can either be hard or soft.

The first Freeformer units will be on sale early next year.[Arburg via Engadget]
