Multi-Color 3D Printing — Full-Color 3MF for AMS & MMU

Turn AI-textured models into multi-color prints. Export full-color 3MF for Bambu Lab AMS, Prusa MMU and other multi-material printers — or have TimrX print and ship the multi-color model for you. Up to 16 filaments per print.

Multi-color print (MCP) on TimrX bridges the gap between AI-generated textures and physical multi-material printing. The AI textures your model with colors and patterns; the MCP tool quantizes those textures into 1–16 solid filament regions; the slicer-ready 3MF goes straight into Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer.

Don’t own an AMS or MMU? Order the multi-color print directly from TimrX — we run it on our Bambu Lab AMS hardware, QC every color region against the source model, then ship worldwide. No slicer work, no filament loading, no purge mess.

How Multi-Color Works on TimrX

01

Generate & Texture

Create your model with AI textures — text-to-3D, image-to-3D or retexture an existing mesh.

02

Open Full-Color 3MF

Pick how many filament colors (1–16) and the color detail level. Preview the color regions live before committing.

03

Export or Order

Export the 3MF for your own AMS / MMU printer, or order the multi-color print from TimrX. We print, ship and deliver.

AMS / MMU Compatibility

The full-color 3MF includes color regions, recommended print settings and the source mesh. Imports cleanly into every major multi-material slicer.

TimrX will print multi-color & ship it

No AMS at home? No problem. Once the print service is live (summer 2026), you’ll be able to order a multi-color print from the TimrX workspace and we’ll run it on our Bambu Lab AMS hardware. We’ll pick filament colors that match your design (or you pick from our filament library), print, QC against the source model, then ship worldwide. The full-color 3MF generator itself is live now — you can export 3MF files today and slice them on your own AMS / MMU.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is multi-color 3D printing (MCP) on TimrX?

MCP on TimrX takes a textured AI 3D model and converts it into a slicer-ready full-color 3MF file with 1–16 filament color regions. Compatible with any AMS or MMU printer including Bambu Lab X1 / P1S, Prusa XL and others. You can export the 3MF yourself or have TimrX print the multi-color model for you.

Which printers does the full-color 3MF work with?

Any multi-material printer that imports 3MF. Tested with Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, X1E, P1S and P1P with AMS or AMS Lite; Prusa XL with the 5-tool head; Prusa MK4 / MK4S with MMU3.

How many colors can one print have?

Up to 16 filament colors per print. The AI quantizes the model’s surface textures into the number of colors you pick. More colors look richer but extend print time and use more purge material — for most prints 4–8 colors is the sweet spot.

How much does multi-color cost?

Generating the 3MF is 10 credits per conversion — live today. The print-on-demand side (TimrX prints and ships you the multi-color model) launches summer 2026. Planned starting price for multi-color FDM is £12 per small print; final price depends on volume, number of colors and shipping. We aren’t the cheapest option; we focus on color accuracy and print quality.

Will the colors match the AI textures exactly?

Close, but not pixel-perfect. Filaments have a limited gamut compared to a digital texture, and the model is split into solid color regions rather than continuous gradients. The 3MF preview shows the exact regions before you commit.
