Dear List,

Because it is so well known that I am an advocate of multi color RP, I
decided to hang back and see what the response to Mr. Hastbacka's email
is. Hello RP world? Where are you? This is an historic moment! I for one
am quite impressed with the results. Granted, I am only looking at a
picture and don't know what the parameters are that produced the part.
It seems that it is a 4 color part. That is bright yellow, dimmer yellow
(perhaps because of a combination with black?), red, and black.

Now, of course I'm dieing to know the details. What file format was
used? Is it a matter of four different spools of colored material or is
the color selectively applied to a master material? With this process,
will it be possible to have a wysiwig model? That is a model where
whatever is colored in the CAD model can be printed in the physical
model? How many different colors can you achieve with your process?
PLease share the details!

best,
