Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you match specific brand colors? A: We maintain a comprehensive filament library and can match colors closely. For exact Pantone matching, we recommend powder coating or painting after printing.
Q: Are there size limitations? A: H2D build volume is 350×320×325mm. Larger projects can be split and assembled seamlessly.
Q: How long does multi-color printing take? A: Material changes add minimal time. A typical 4-color print takes only 10-15% longer than single-color.
Q: Can I see samples first? A: Yes! We can print small test pieces in your chosen colors/materials for approval on larger projects.
Q: What file format is best for multi-color? A: 3MF format preserves color information. Alternatively, provide separate STL files for each color with clear assembly instructions.
