The ability to produce three-dimensional objects with a range of hues enhances visual appeal and functional coding through color-specific components. An example includes creating a map where different elevation levels are represented by distinct shades or constructing a toy with various parts printed in corresponding, recognizable colors.
This capability expands design possibilities, streamlines assembly by providing visual cues, and improves communication of information embedded within the physical object. Historically, achieving this required complex post-processing techniques, but advancements in additive manufacturing now offer integrated solutions.
