[3D Printing News] Palette 2 Pro: The "Colorful" Future of Interior Design!
"Render Labs" is the first company in the local area to use Ultimaker 3D printers to produce architectural models, and it has grown by 350% in the past year. To expand the range of product colors to meet customer needs, they incorporated the "Palette 2 Pro filament color mixer" for use with their Ultimaker 3D printers. What new functions can this "color plug-in" bring?
Changing the Status Quo
Traditional three-dimensional architectural models generally require weeks of manual production. However, to secure orders, they now need to be much faster. After "Render Labs" introduced 3D printers for architectural model production, delivery time was reduced by 85%, from 2 weeks to 4 days, and costs were cut by 60%, providing faster and better finished products. These architectural models, completed in a short time, impressed clients and were key to their outperforming competitors and achieving exponential growth. However, as client demands grew, how could more colors be incorporated?
Color Plug-in
"Render Labs" uses a variety of 3D printers, including FDM and SLA resin printers. Due to the suitable volume for architectural models, ease of use, and excellent stability of the Ultimaker 3 Extended, it became their primary production equipment. Based on this 3D printer, the "Palette 2 Pro filament color mixer" became their best solution.
The "Palette 2 Pro filament color mixer" lives up to its name, allowing the complete reassembly of segmented color lines as needed and feeding them into the 3D printer for normal use, adding aesthetics and distinctiveness to functional prototypes. Another special use is that through the Ultimaker-specific Palette 2/2 Pro Adapter A, these 1.75mm colored filaments can be used directly, enabling the company to print full-color models with their Ultimaker.
With the plug-in tool, the company typically chooses marble-textured filament for printing tables, wood-textured filament for furniture, etc., and then uses various colors to represent other arrangements in the house. Their speed of completion and presentation effect far surpassed competitors, creating more added value for clients.
New Process, "Colorful" Future
After the company's comprehensive digital transformation, the production process now begins with 2D engineering drawings, which are then converted into 3D models using SolidWorks. They directly use the official free coloring software "CANVAS" for the Palette 2 Pro filament color mixer to quickly color different faces and set corresponding colors and materials. This free coloring software, like Cura, features an intuitive interface that allows for rich detail, such as the color of furniture handles, table legs, and cushions, making it as simple as the original 3D printing but achieving a more realistic appearance.
"Render Labs" is continually expanding through new models, and the company has developed a plan to become an industry leader, pursuing the customer demand they see in the US and Canada.
