Yes — multiple options available
Painting
Works on all technologies. Best with primer, spray paint, brush, or airbrush. Sand the surface first (220–400 grit). Use plastic-compatible primer. Multiple thin coats beat one thick coat.
Dyeing
Best for MJF Nylon parts. Color penetrates the surface (won’t chip or peel). Standard colors: black (most common), blue, red, green, yellow.
Built-in color options
FDM — 15+ filament colors (color runs through entire part)
SLA — Limited (clear, white, gray, black)
Industrial SLA — Clear (Optical Clear PMMA), translucent (Frosted PMMA), or ABS-Like resin (white or black)
MJF — Natively white/gray, dyeing for color
FGF — ABS; parts are usually filled, primed, and painted for final color
