The MIT team says their research is one step closer to providing a solution. The method uses a specialized 3D printable ink that changes color when it's exposed to UV light.

Being able to 3D print FDM objects in more than one color is a feature that is rapidly rising in popularity, assisted by various multi-filament systems that allow the printer to swap between differ… ...

Scientists have created a 3D-printing media that can take on different colors in different parts of a single print ... the color of the polymers extruded by 3D printers is dictated by synthetic dyes.

A new type of 3D printing uses a special ink derived from genetically altered live cells; it has allowed scientists to make a patch, or “living tattoo” of bacterial cells that react to specific ...

The industry’s ultimate full-color 3D printer, XYZprinting’s 3DColorJet solution enables the da Vinci Color to mix and fire CMYK color droplets onto PLA filament for accuracy and precision.

This unusual tattoo hack by [Emily The Engineer] is not for the weak of heart, but let’s be frank: we kind of know her for that. And she gives out a warning, albeit at a good 10 minutes in, t… ...

Researchers there have developed color-shifting dyes for 3D printed objects (Opens in a new window). Shine some light on the object, and it changes color.
