Imagine a four-year-old shouting orders in a design lab. In response to the question of how to make a 3D printer print in colour, that kid might yell, “Just colour it with markers!” This week, at the Inside 3D Printing conference in Sao Paolo, Argentinian 3D printer manufacturer, Kikai Labs, has done just that, yielding quite a novel solution to the problem of FDM colorization.
Kikai Labs president, Marcelo Ruiz Camauer, gave a talk at the Inside 3D Printing conference, outlining the current methods for creating multi-colour prints. For the time being, the best printing technologies for achieving a range of colours are 3D Systems’ ProJet line, Stratasys’ Connex3 or 3D paper printing from Mcor. These machines, however, are extremely expensive.…
