3D printers have learned to mix colors

The company Tinkerine, only recently became known to the General public due to the released lineup of 3D printers "Ditto", said on the eve of the launch of the first in the world of the strands (filaments) for three-dimensional printing allows by mixing to achieve the desired color.

Modern emerging market of 3D printing, the color of the printed stuff is set by the color refilled printer filament – a kind of analogue of the cartridge for traditional two-dimensional printing. To mix the raw materials until I couldn't any 3D printers, Tinkerine became the first to offer customers such a solution.

It is expected that new clues will be the greatest breakthrough in 3D printing in the short history of its existence, as they greatly expand its capabilities and make domestic manufacture of three-dimensional objects more attractive to people.

Users of 3D printers will be able to ask the precise color of the printed product, and, for example, having decided to enter some element in interior design, this can be done in a maximum correspondence with them.

It is also interesting that the threads of Tinkerine are completely safe for people and environmentally friendly products. In their production is biodegradable plastic based on corn starch, which automatically "printed" product makes absolutely safe to use.

Not to mention that maintaining a single standard filaments for 3D printers, Tinkerine will allow specialists to create cartridges that use the majority of the market of devices for three-dimensional printing. This factor suggests that the threads of individual colors soon recede into the past, as their displacement with new coils in the coming months.

The only limiting factor in this process could be the price which is currently $ 45 for one thread from Tinkerine, but it is most likely dictated by the novelty of the product. Already by the end of the year you can expect the first price reduction, which will allow us to speak about the accessibility of such cartridges.
