Slicer Software for Color 3D Printing

Getting colors right is hard. We develop software to simulate the colors in UV-curable resin and preview your 3D model before you print. Stop wasting time and resin on test prints!

Problems of Full-Color 3D Printing

What you see is not what you get: You never know how colors will translate or how much texture detail remains until you print it.

That means endless test prints and design revisions just to hit acceptable results. Every printout costs time for printing and post-processing, while expensive material is wasted.

PrismSlicer makes this process faster and cheaper.

Predict Every Detail

PrismSlicer can visualize how your 3D model will look like when it is 3D printed. These previews are truly photorealistic and capture every aspect:

  • Printer lines (due to printer resolution)
  • Matte or gloss surface finish
  • Color mixing and translucency
  • Lighting conditions

See for yourself how the colors change with different light sources!

No Printer Required

Working remotely or using third-party print services? With a one-click preview, you don't have to wait days to see the effect of your design changes on a test print.

PrismSlicer is your virtual printer for soft-proofing on screen, making printer ownership or physical proximity optional.

With print services, the time and cost savings are even higher: You don't need to wait for your order to be scheduled, printed, post-processed and shipped. The savings on these overheads are even larger than the savings on material alone.

Photorealistic previews allow you to experiment with full-colour 3D printing without paying for failed attempts and the frustration of a black-box process.

Thoroughly Verified

The digital-twins are highly accurate and deliver predictable results when compared to photographs of real printouts.

Our team of color scientists worked on the algorithms, optical measurements and verification methodology for 8+ years and published their findings as research papers. The results held up to the critical eyes of world-wide scientists at the top-tier Computer Graphics conference: ACM SIGGRAPH.
