“…This will also impact tangible characteristics, such as thermal properties and texture, which could potentially deceive the handler. Colour printing for optical properties is also limited, as many modern printers only utilise a single material, particularly affordable fused filament fabrication (FFF) solutions (Gibson et al, 2015;Chua and Leong, 2015;Chen et al, 2016). Some full-colour FFF methods are beginning to reach the market though (XYZ Printing, 2018).…”

“…Subsequently, the concept of full-color 3D printing was introduced and the corresponding paper-based, powder-based, and plastic-based full-color 3D printers were developed and released [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Full-color 3D printing not only refers to multi-color printing but also emphasizes more accurate color reproduction of color 3D prints [ 7 ].…”

Color 3D printing allows for 3D-printed parts to represent 3D objects more realistically, but its surface color quality evaluation lacks comprehensive objective verification considering printing materials. In this study, a unique test model was designed and printed using eco-friendly and vivid paper-based full-color 3D printing as an example. By measuring the chromaticity, roughness, glossiness, and whiteness properties of 3D-printed surfaces and by acquiring images of their main viewing surfaces, this work skillfully explores the correlation between the color representation of a paper-based 3D-printed coloring layer and its attached underneath blank layer. Quantitative analysis was performed using ∆E*ab, feature similarity index measure of color image (FSIMc), and improved color-image-difference (iCID) values. The experimental results show that a color difference on color-printed surfaces exhibits a high linear correlation trend with its FSIMc metric and iCID metric. The qualitative analysis of microscopic imaging and the quantitative analysis of the above three surface properties corroborate the prediction of the linear correlation between color difference and image-based metrics. This study can provide inspiration for the development of computational coloring materials for additive manufacturing.

“…Along with the achieved shape and geometric realization, the color realization of the printed parts has become significantly tempting, especially for people in the fields of art, reproduction, mapping, medicine, education, etc. [6][7][8] There are some commercially available full-color 3D printers in the binder jetting (BJ), sheet lamination, and material jetting (MJ) categories, classified by ISO/ASTM 52900 [9].…”

Material jetting (MJ)-type 3D printers have been considered as one of the most versatile types of 3D printers, enabling full-color printing and multi-material printing. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are few academic studies on the development of full-color MJ technologies, and the formulation of commercial resins is confidential and proprietary. In this paper, we give an insight into the preparation of photocurable resins in the primary CMYKW (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and white) colors that are printable with the multiple piezoelectric heads of our homemade MJ full-color 3D printer. The components comprising the resins, such as the photo-initiator, oligomers, monomers, and crosslinkers, were methodically adjusted and characterized to achieve high-performance MJ printable resins. Subsequently, the prepared resins were colored with the CMYKW colors and their ability of high-quality color appearance in full-color printing was demonstrated.
