Accurate, Consistent Color Matching

Print parts in your preferred color for accurate prototypes, functional color-coding, or custom end-use applications. Every order is custom-manufactured and checked for quality, ensuring consistent, repeatable results with every order.


Fast, Easy, Affordable

Make custom-colored parts affordably without long outsourcing lead times or using skilled labor for painting, coating, or pigment mixing. Order as little as one liter, which will be manufactured and shipped within one week, and be ready to 3D print in color right out of the box.


Versatile Mechanical Properties

Use industry-leading materials from Formlabs to create custom-colored 3D printed parts that are both aesthetic and functional. Balance strength, toughness, and stiffness for realistic prototypes, end-use parts, and more.
