Multi Jet Fusion allows printing in colour

Wonderful colours: Multicolour 3D printing for a ship model

With the technology Multi Jet Fusion, multicoloured models can be produced in 3D printing. These can be high-quality model making parts, anatomical models for medicine or even your own mascot as a hearty promotional gift. It is easy to include colour information when ordering from our 3D printing service. Read more about this:

A nice example is the 3D printed model of the ship W.D.R. Nordfriesland. Using a 3D print file that includes the colour information, it was possible to print a miniature model that is true to detail. A proud owner now has a beautiful exhibition model. Who wouldn't want to have their vehicle presented like this?

What is possible with multicolor 3d printing?

In the multi-colour Multi Jet Fusion process, the material polyamide 12 (CB PA12) is used. This allows both single and multi-colour printing. The mechanical properties of the material are not affected and the brilliant colours enable a wide variety of applications such as:

  • View models of company-specific vehicles, ships, excavators, etc. that you want to display.
  • A mascot as a three-dimensional, coloured promotional gift (or even a logo)
  • Special models of model building parts
  • Architectural models of planned buildings
  • Applications for medicine and medical education, for example anatomical models of vessels, bones, organs
  • etc.

 

Which file formats are suitable for multicolour 3D printing?

The following 3D print files will include the values and details of colours correctly to transfer it to the printer: 

  • STEP with colour information
  • 3MF with colour information
  • OBJ with colour information

If you have questions, or are not sure if the file is accurat, create an individual request, attach the file and describe your question exactly. In our 3D print stores you will immediately receive a quote with price and delivery time when you upload a file.
