Multicolor PLA

FDM 

Multicolor FDM prints made with two or more PLA filaments offer vibrant, visually striking results. Ideal for decorative or functional parts, these prints combine strong layer adhesion, smooth surfaces, and precise color transitions.

About

Multicolor FDM prints produced with two or more PLA filaments create visually dynamic parts that combine color variety with the strength and reliability of standard PLA. By using multi-extrusion or filament-switching techniques, these prints achieve smooth transitions or sharply defined color boundaries, depending on the design. The result is a part that maintains PLA’s excellent dimensional accuracy, stiffness, and ease of printing, while adding enhanced aesthetic appeal. This method is well-suited for decorative models, brand prototypes, and educational or artistic applications that benefit from vivid, layered color effects. Multicolor PLA parts retain the same eco-friendly, low-warping properties as single-color prints, making them both durable and visually distinctive.
