3D printing company Stratsys today unveiled a new printer at the SolidWorks World 2014 convention in San Diego, and it looks to be a step toward what most people probably thought of when they first heard about 3D printing: press a button, get a finished object.

Stratasys claims the Objet500 Connex3 is the first full-colour multi-material 3D printer. What that means is it can make one object out of various materials and colours in just one print session. The result, if the video above is anything to go by, is that the 3D-printed prototype objects actually look like real products.
