We are drastically lowering our prices on multicolor material.

The multicolor material is composed of a fine mineral powder that can be mixed to create beautiful multicolored pieces. The surface has a grainy, sanded appearance, great for ornaments. More details available on our multicolor material page.

Upload your file on the Sculpteo.com website to have a real-time estimation of the new price and have your object 3D printed.

An example with a multicolored car (mixed of blue, white, red and black). With the 30% reduction, it’s now available as a unique 3D kid decoration item for less than $60.

Upload your file and have it 3D printed in amazing colors!

IKEA just launched the Sofa Player, a website with a bunch of great videos about their sofa collection.

You might argue that it has nothing to see with 3D printing… but we think it’s deeply related! More and more consumers want to own very personal objects. We want things that we can play with, hack, make our own. 3D printing gives you this capability by letting you create or enhance all things around you.

What would you do to your couch?
