On this edition of 30 on 3D, Development Engineer, Brandon Liu takes us through the steps of adding color to your PolyJet parts in GrabCAD Print.
In GrabCAD Print, you can easily color separate sections of a part or color the body as a whole.
There is a variety of ways to choose a color in GrabCAD, from the gallery of Pantone Validated colors to a color picker, or inputting a color code. This software also allows you to achieve your desired material or texture without having to use multiple software solutions. When you are done coloring your part(s), you can print directly from GrabCAD Print, which saves you time usually spent converting STL files.
