Now, a new exciting feature has got added to 3D printing – Colour Mixing. Till now, we have seen 3D printers with single extruders giving output with single material and single colour. We have also seen advanced printers with multiple extruders supporting mult-material or multi-colour outputs. But, mixing of colours to achieve new shades or gradients is a cool new feature.
Dutch 3D printer manufacturer, Builder has just introduced this colour mixing feature to its Builder and Big Builder line of single-extruder dual-filament FFF 3D printers. These Dual-Feed machines will be able to extrude 2 colors at the same time creating prints in mixed colors, with some great new effects. The mixed color is created by changing the percentage of colors in G-code from extruding 100% of each color to, for example, 40% red and 60% yellow. This process creates the color mixing effect.
When purchasing a small or Big Builder with Dual-Feed extruder, customers will receive a password by email which allows them to use the “color mixing” generator.
