Multi-material printing
Four colors, one part, no glue.
Logos, labels, two-tone housings and parts where the color does a job rather than just looking good. Printed in a single run on one machine, so the colors are part of the geometry instead of paint on top of it.

Tell us about the job
Color work isn't priced by the instant quote tool, because the cost depends on how the colors are arranged rather than the size of the part. A logo on one face is cheap. Four colors alternating up the full height is not. Send the details and we'll quote it properly.
3MF with colors already assigned is ideal. STL is fine — just describe which parts get which color.

Why color work is quoted by hand
Two parts the same size can differ by triple depending on how the colors are laid out. Here's what we're looking at when we quote.
Purge waste
The main cost
Every color change flushes the old filament out of the nozzle. That happens on each layer where two colors meet, so a tall part with alternating colors can waste more plastic than the part itself weighs.
Layout
Where the colors sit
A logo on one face touches only a handful of layers and costs very little. Colors running the full height of a part touch every layer and cost a great deal. Same part, very different price.
File format
How you send it
A 3MF with colors already assigned goes straight on the machine. A plain STL means we assign colors by hand first, which is fine but adds time we have to quote for.
