【3D Printing News】Palette 2 Pro: The Colorful Future of Interior Design!
"Render Labs" is the first company in the region to use Ultimaker 3D printers for architectural models, and it has grown by 350% in the past year. To expand the range of product colors and meet customer needs, they have incorporated the "Palette 2 Pro Filament Palette" to use with their Ultimaker 3D printers. What new functions can this "color add-on" bring?
Changing the Status Quo
Traditional architectural models typically require weeks of manual production. However, to secure orders, they needed to accelerate their process. By incorporating 3D printers to produce architectural models, "Render Labs" reduced delivery time by 85%, shortening it from 2 weeks to 4 days, and cut costs by 60%, delivering faster and better finished products. These quickly produced architectural models impressed clients, becoming key to outperforming competitors and achieving exponential growth. But as client demands increased, how could they incorporate more colors?
Color Add-on
"Render Labs" utilizes various 3D printers, including FDM, SLA resin, etc. However, the Ultimaker 3 Extended has become their primary production equipment due to its suitable size for architectural models, ease of use, and excellent stability. Based on using this 3D printer, the "Palette 2 Pro Filament Palette" became their optimal solution.
The "Palette 2 Pro Filament Palette" does exactly what its name suggests. It seamlessly combines different color segments of filament as needed and feeds them into the 3D printer for normal use, adding aesthetics and distinctiveness to functional prototypes. Another special use is that with the Ultimaker-specific Palette 2/2 Pro Adapter A, these 1.75mm colored filaments can be used directly, allowing the company to print full-color models directly with their Ultimaker.
With this add-on tool, the company typically prints tables using marble-patterned filament, furniture with wood-like filament, etc., and then uses various colors to represent other furnishings in the house. Their speed of completion and presentation effects far surpass their competitors, creating more added value for clients.
New Process, Colorful Future
After its complete digital transformation, the company's production process now starts with 2D engineering drawings, then converts them into 3D models using SolidWorks. They directly use the "Palette 2 Pro Filament Palette's" official free coloring software, "CANVAS," to quickly differentiate colors for various surfaces and set corresponding colors and materials. This free coloring software, like Cura, features an intuitive interface, allowing for the addition of rich details such as furniture handles, table legs, and cushion colors. It's as simple as original 3D printing, yet achieves a more realistic appearance.
"Render Labs" is continuously expanding through new models, and the company has developed a plan to become an industry leader, addressing client needs across the US and Canada.
