3D printers will not surprise anyone. There are expensive and cheap models on the market, some of which are even capable of reproducing themselves. However, almost all 3D printers have one drawback: they do not work with different colors. Of course, you can make a figure / detail of a single color, but no desktop model has yet been able to create a multi-colored object. Now there is a 5-color desktop 3D printer, the name of which is indicated in the header.
The device was created by the company BotObjects, which has long been working on this project. The printer turned out to be interesting even in appearance - no protruding pieces of iron and plastic parts in plain sight, a nice aluminum body with a thoughtful design. It should be noted that the company did not invent any revolutionary approach. As with conventional color printers, a different color cartridge system is used. Currently 5 colors are available, the cartridges themselves can be reused (for the time being it is not reported how they are refilled).

According to the manufacturers, the system is fairly accurate, and after the part / object is manufactured, all this will not have to be “adjusted” manually (for example, cutting off unnecessary edges and parts). Print accuracy is up to 25 microns. The company states that it took about two years of work to create such a system.
Unfortunately, while the printer can not be bought. The manufacturer’s website does not have a demo video where you can evaluate the performance of the printer. Presumably, soon there will be a video and photos of the results of the printer. If anyone is interested, then a more detailed description of the system can be found on
the manufacturer's website .
