The state of 3d multi-color printing.

[Brian Sturgill]

I won't be there today... My obturator isn't ready yet (had the rest of my
top teeth removed), so I could not actually talk with anyone.

I did want to pass on this article I ran across.  The ability to print from
2-8 filaments is quite common, but that often isn't enough colors.  The
approach outlined in the article talks about a software approach that
"mixes" the filaments to get more colors.  "Mixes" is in quotes because
true mixing doesn't occur.
Basically the software uses translucence and the optical effect of two very
thin
layers of different filaments to produce many more colors.
