Curious about 3D printing in color? then let us explain!

These are always questions that may arise as you begin taking an interest in 3D printing, and one of these areas where we see many questions asked is when it comes to 3D printing in color. Most people, when 3D printing, want a product that is as true to reality as possible, but may not know how to achieve that.

Because most 3D printing is often limited to using a material of a specific color color, many manufacturers have initiated processes to remedy this limitation, such as can be seen with Mcor Technologies (who we’ll talk a little be more about in a bit). Below, you will find a quick rundown on the different 3D printing technologies that make it possible to obtain polychrome objects through 3D printing:

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM):

The FDM method deposits a molten plastic, layer by layer, onto a plate. This is probably the most common and most accessible 3D printing method. The creator of Stratasys, S. Scott Crump, developed this technology in 1990.
