The next frontier of desktop 3D printing is multi-material and multi-color prints. Right now, you can buy a dual toolhead for a Lulzbot, and dual toolheads from other companies exist, although they ...

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” ...

Designed with everyday households in mind, the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo makes multicolor 3D printing truly accessible through ELEGOO's intelligent CANVAS system. The system enables smooth, automatic ...

Cambridge University Library recently digitized the first multicolor printed book, a 17th-century artist manual that remained in print for over 200 years. Manual of Calligraphy and Painting (Shi zhu ...

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 ...

Being able to switch colors without tweaking the G-code and manually swapping filaments makes multi-filament modules like Bambu’s AMS and Elegoo’s CANVAS game-changers for 3D-printing enthusiasts. But ...

Inspired by chameleons and other colorful animals, researchers at the the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology have developed a way to 3D ...

FlashForge and Meshy AI today announced a direct software integration, adding a built-in Meshy entry point to FlashForge's Flash Studio desktop app. The integration allows Creator 5 users to launch ...

Researchers have developed an automated 3D printing method that can produce multicolor 3D microstructures using different materials. The new method could be used to make a variety of optical ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...

3D printing has evolved very quickly. From slow bed-slingers with small print beds to fancy Core-XY printers with multiple nozzles and tool changers, we've come a long way. In 2026, multiple brands ...
