Breaking the tradition and shining the future: The brand-new rainbow-colored 3D printing consumables production line has officially gone into operation

19 Sep, 2025

Recently, a major project leading innovation in the field of 3D printing materials has been officially launched - the world's leading rainbow-colored 3D printing consumables production line has been completed and put into operation recently. This production line is equipped with fully automatic and intelligent production capabilities, capable of achieving stable mass production of multi-color gradient and high-uniformity colored filaments. This marks a new stage of large-scale and low-cost commercial application of color functional 3D printing materials.

 

Rainbow-colored 3D printing consumables, as the name suggests, refer to special materials that integrate multiple colors in a single roll of filament and can achieve natural gradients and smooth color transitions in the printed product, as brilliant as a rainbow. Unlike the previous methods that relied on pausing to change colors or post-painting, this material can automatically change color without intervention during the printing process, greatly enhancing the efficiency and artistic expressiveness of color model printing.

 

The production line put into operation this time integrates an intelligent material proportioning system, a multi-color co-extrusion composite module and a real-time quality monitoring unit. It can precisely control the melting and interweaving states of different color PLA, PETG and other base materials during the high-speed extrusion process, and achieve any gradient color output from red to purple and from cold to warm. The entire production line relies on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture, ensuring full traceability of production data. This not only enhances production capacity but also guarantees color consistency and the stability of the mechanical properties of the wires.

 

This production line was jointly developed by a domestic polymer materials enterprise and a joint research and development team from a university. The core of its technology lies in solving the problems of interface compatibility and fluidity control during the high-temperature co-extrusion of multi-color materials. At present, two mainstream specifications of gradient color consumables, 1.75mm and 2.85mm, can be stably produced. The color scheme supports customized Settings. In the future, it will be widely used in creative design, educational demonstration, art production, personalized consumer products and other fields, bringing more aesthetic value and practical possibilities to 3D printing.

 

Industry experts say that the mass production of rainbow-colored 3D printing consumables not only expands the application scenarios of additive manufacturing, but also further promotes the upgrade of the consumer and professional 3D printing experience from "printable" to "good-looking and practical". It is expected that this material will soon be available on major e-commerce platforms and 3D printing service providers around the world.

 

This is a production line that is both "colorful" and "intelligent" - it is quietly changing the way we view manufacturing.
