Here’s another cool project out of MIT’s CSAIL labs. Researchers are looking to bring color-changing properties to the 3D-printing process in an attempt to help reduce material waste. That last bit is ...

Imagine being able to create custom vibrant, multi-colored 3D prints with the same ease as printing a single-color object. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this idea sparks excitement—but anyone ...

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

Full-colour 3D printing is very different from the multicolour capabilities provided by filament swapping FFF devices. They have a limited palette of four or more filaments, and that’s all they can ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A new generation of lenses ('metalenses') is starting to replace bulky curved lenses with simple, flat surfaces that use nanostructures to focus light. These flat surfaces ...

3D printing has evolved to a point where dual extrusion isn’t really that special anymore. A few years ago, a two-color frog print would have been impressive, but this isn’t the case anymore. The ...

One of the better regarded 3D printers with multi-color print capability is now priced well under $300. AliExpress is currently offering the FlashForge AD5X 3D Printer with integrated multi-filament ...
