colorFabb XT Dark Gray

Production and quality control

All colorFabb 3D printing filaments are produced in the in-house production facility in the Netherlands. Because no external parties are involved in production, colorFabb can monitor consistent quality for every order.

Laser measurement systems check the filament diameter in real time during production. The diameter is measured more than 1000 times per second. ColorFabb guarantees 0.05 mm +/- on both 2.85 mm and 1.75 mm 3D printing filament, so the printer can extrude the correct amount of material.

Within minutes of production, a spool of colorFabb 3D printing filament is sealed airtight with double barrier foil. The cardboard box used to ship the product is also sealed. This means the filament is ready for 3D printing after unboxing.

The colorFabb test lab contains a range of popular 3D printers. ColorFabb continuously tests on these printers to check material quality and develop new materials. If you are not sure how to print these materials on your 3D printer, please contact support@colorfabb.com .

The following printers are used in the test lab:

Ultimaker Original Dual Extrusion

Makerbot Replicator 2s

Delta Tower (E3D hot-end)

Mass Portal Pharaoh ED

Companies that want to have their 3D printer(s) featured in the test lab can contact support@colorfabb.com.
