Abstract

Development of the color 3D printing technology has greatly expanded the application field of 3D printing although color performance of color 3D printing is not satisfied. The influencing factors of color reproduction in color 3D printing were studied in this paper. Firstly, the printing principle and relative merits of different color 3D printing technologies were compared and the 3D printing technology with the highest degree of color reduction was found. Then, this color 3D printing technology was used to study the influencing factors of color reproduction. By comparing different standard color blocks, it was found that the number of printing layers has the greatest influence on color reproduction in color 3D printing. The relationship curves of the number of printing layers, hue, brightness, saturation and chromatic aberration were obtained through experiments. This study can provide the best color reproduction scheme for the color 3D printing technology.
