Prusa Research adds open-source ColorMix for full-spectrum 3D printing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Prusa Research has introduced an open-source ColorMix engine, integrated into its PrusaSlicer and EasyPrint mobile app, to enable full-spectrum color blending for 3D prints. This technology, inspired by community developments and similar to halftoning, allows for a vast range of colors by visually mixing filaments. While it may not replace individual filament spools entirely due to potential banding and time investment, it offers subtle color variations and is expected to be further enhanced with the upcoming PrusaSlicer 3.0 and the new INDX printer.

IMPACT Enhances creative possibilities in 3D printing by enabling a wider color palette through software and hardware integration.
