Why Does This Affect Your Purchase Decision?</h2> <p><strong>Color 3D printing is not a single technology; it includes three mainstream types: AMS automatic material switching, tool-changing, and multi-nozzle. Each technology varies greatly in cost, speed, and waste management, directly determining your application scenarios and budget.</strong></p> <p>The most common in the consumer market is the AMS (Automatic Material System), such as the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, which achieves color printing by switching filaments of different colors. However, this method requires purging residual material from the nozzle during each color change, leading to significant waste. According to tests, printing a multi-color model can waste 10% to 30% of material, a considerable cost for high-frequency users.</p>
