Bambu updates its 3D printers to print unique hues or gradients using two or three filaments — company acknowledges OrcaSlicer-FullSpectrum fork as the basis for the color prediction part of the new feature

Bambu Lab updated Bambu Studio with Color Mixer Studio, letting users blend two or three filaments into new colors or two-color gradients.

The color prediction system uses Ratdoux’s method from the OrcaSlicer-FullSpectrum fork, highlighting open-source work behind the feature.

The feature relies on optical mixing and works best with recommended layer-height settings, though results vary on certain surfaces.

The update broadens consumer 3D printing options and could improve multi-material workflows with more flexible color output.
