Everything from photography , to tv , to printer made the eventual evolution from black and white to full color . And following in those technological footsteps is the 3D printing machine , with 3D Systems recently announce what it ’s claiming is the world ’s first continuous - tone full color plastic printing machine yell theProJet 4500 .
Specific pricing and availableness has n’t been revealed just yet , but the ProJet 4500 will create plastic semi - set full - colour parts complete with gradient passage between the various timbre . The 4500 looks like it uses the optical maser - sintering attack to 3D printing process , where a laser is used to harden a pulverization - similar textile level by stratum — instead of the more popular extrusion proficiency used by cheap printers hitting the marketplace recently .
And while some extrusion printers do offer multiple color options , they can only print with one color at a metre , and the tinted unsanded materials ca n’t be assorted to produce other or even in - between whole step .

And while the colors the printer produces are more on the subtle / desaturated side of things , the simple machine will accentuate the ‘ speedy ’ side of rapid - prototyping since section and mockups wo n’t have to be painted before being okay for terminal product . More importantly , the machine fetch us one tantalizing step nearer to the replicators Star Trek has promised us . [ 3D SystemsviaSlashGear ]
