Options for multi-color 3D printing

Those seeking multi-color 3D printing on an FFF system have a few different options. The first and most obvious is to go for a purpose-built dual extrusion 3D printer like the Kodak Portrait, or even an IDEX machine like the BCN3D Sigma D25. By offering two individual hotends, these systems allow two different filaments to be loaded simultaneously for multi-color and multi-material part production. Naturally, dual extruders tend to cost more than their single counterparts so if the budget is an issue or you already have a single extruder at home, the add-on route may be more viable.

Mosaic Manufacturing, formed in 2014 by five Canadian college students, rose to prominence for its modular approach to multi-color 3D printing. The company’s flagship Palette system is a multi-material filament switching add-on device, and it works by attaching to conventional single extruder systems to switch between up to eight filaments at a time. This upstream option offers a standalone method of achieving multi-color prints.

Similarly, Prusa Research has also gone down the add-on route in the past, launching multi-material kits for its existing 3D printers. The Multi-Material Upgrade 2.0 (MMU2) is priced at around $300 and enables Prusa systems to print with up to five colors at the same time.
