colorFabb XT Clear

Production and quality control

All colorFabb 3D printing filaments are produced in the company’s own production facility in the Netherlands. Because no external parties are involved in production, colorFabb can deliver consistent quality for every order.

During production, the filament diameter is checked in real time using laser measurement systems. The diameter is measured more than 1000 times per second. ColorFabb guarantees a tolerance of ± 0.05 mm for both 2.85 mm and 1.75 mm filament.

Within minutes of production, a spool of colorFabb filament is sealed airtight in double barrier foil. The cardboard shipping box is also sealed, so the filament is supplied fresh and ready for 3D printing.

The colorFabb test lab uses various common 3D printers to check material quality and develop new materials. For questions about printing with colorFabb materials, 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) included in the test lab can contact support@colorfabb.com.
