The Palette 300 isn’t just another 3D printer, it’s trying something bold. With 12 nozzles that swap automatically, support for up to 36 colors, and a clean focus on efficiency, AtomForm’s upcoming printer aims to solve a few major pain points in multicolor printing.
Palette 300 features automatic nozzle switching
At the core of the Palette 300 is a revolver-style print head equipped with 12 interchangeable nozzles. These nozzles can swap automatically during a job, avoiding the tedious filament cutting and reloading process most color printers rely on.
This mechanism does more than improve convenience. According to AtomForm, the design cuts filament waste by up to 90% and reduces switching time by half. That makes color changes faster and cleaner without interrupting the overall flow of a print job.
Palette 300 supports up to 36 colors
While 12 nozzles is already impressive, AtomForm has taken it further. Using up to six RDF-6 units, each housing multiple filament spools, the Palette 300 can manage up to 36 different colors in a single print.
These units also keep filaments dry and ready to go. That’s crucial when printing with moisture-sensitive materials like nylon or flexible TPU.
Here’s a quick overview of its standout features:
- 12-nozzle revolver system
- Up to 36 color printing with RDF-6 modules
- 300 x 300 x 300 mm build volume
- Max print speed: 800 mm/s
- Integrated drying system for filaments
Palette 300 offers serious speed and build size
The printer’s maximum build area sits at 300mm on each axis big enough for helmets, cosplay props, and engineering parts. It also boasts a max print speed of 800 mm/s, putting it in the upper tier of hobbyist and professional desktop printers.
That speed doesn’t come at the cost of accuracy. Four cameras and 50 internal sensors actively monitor the printing process and recalibrate the nozzle as needed to maintain precision.
Palette 300 adds smart features to the mix
Besides its mechanical innovations, the Palette 300 also includes modern quality-of-life features. Users get a full touchscreen interface, adjustable print chamber temperature, and live system monitoring during active prints.
AtomForm hasn’t announced final pricing yet, as the printer will launch first via a crowdfunding campaign. Still, the feature list alone puts it in competition with higher-end multicolor systems.
A promising bet for serious makers
If the Palette 300 delivers what it promises, it could change how multi-material printing is done fewer wasteful swaps, more colors, and smarter control, all in one box.
