While multi-material 3D printers do already exist, the filament that they extrude is typically all one material at any one point in the printing process. A new system produces actual multi-material ...

As long as 3D printers have been around, it seems as though many of us have dreamed about nozzle-sharing solutions for multicolor 3D prints. Just because Prusa’s MMU has had the spotlight for some ...

A recent research paper shows a way to create multicolor 3D prints using a single extruder if you are too lazy to babysit the machine and switch filament. The concept: print your own “programmable” ...

Multicolor 3D printing used to be a high-end feature reserved for modified setups and expensive FDM printers. If makers wanted to create multicolored projects in one print session, it would usually ...

The latest 3D-printing innovation, Palette, can fuse various filaments end-over-end to create multicolored objects and embedded circuitry by using electrical filaments. 3D-printing has come a long way ...

Wooden PLA filaments have gained significant attention for their ability to replicate the natural look and feel of wood in 3D printing. This guide by Creative Maker provide more insights into the ...
