A Look at Shapeways 3D Printed Colors

Shapeways 3D Printed Color Nylon


A Look at the Colors We Launched Earlier This Year.


Earlier this year we launched some new colors and improved the process for our existing colors to make your 3D prints smoother, with more reliable colors. We just wanted to share some images of the current colors across variable geometry, from curved to flat surface, angular sections, emboss and engraving.  You can see that the color is quite consistent across the diverse range of geometries.  The only significant difference being where the text is engraved or embossed, where small details look to hold slightly more color.  We have also noticed that some thin, wiry parts can look slightly darker, with more saturated color than solid, flat surface.

Now that we have these colors locked down, what color Nylon would you like to see us introduce next?  Let us know with CMYK or Pantone colors?
