3D Printing/Color Printing

Methods of 3D printing in color

One way to achieve color 3D printing is to use a multimaterial printer.^[1] This requires loading different color materials into the printer, as well as setting up the model(s) and printer software correctly.

One solution to color FFF 3D prints is to simply place markers along the feed of a white filament.^[2]

Failing anything, color can be added in post processing steps, such as by painting the print.
