AtomForm unveiled the Palette 300 at CES 2026. The 3D printer uses a 12-nozzle architecture to support multi-material printing and fast nozzle swaps, with the company stating the design can reduce waste by up to 90%.
Capable of combining up to 36 colors and 12 materials in a single job, the Palette 300 is aimed at makers, designers, engineers, educators and hobbyists who need multi-material output with reduced changeover time and material waste.
Most 3D printers limit printing to one or two colors at a time. The Palette 300 uses 12 dedicated nozzles and AtomForm’s OmniElement automatic nozzle swapping system to manage color and material transitions. AtomForm says this approach can cut filament waste by up to 90% and reduce swap times.
The printer uses more than 50 sensors and four AI-enabled cameras to monitor the print process, including nozzle alignment calibration and defect detection. It is rated for ≤48 dB operation and includes built-in air purification, and it can connect to up to six AtomForm RFD-6 filament boxes to manage 36 spools with independent drying while printing.
Key performance highlights of the AtomForm Palette 300 include:
- 12 auto-swapping nozzles: Independent, filament-dedicated nozzles are designed to reduce reloading and purging, support stability, and maintain surface quality.
- Up to 36 colors and 12 materials in a single print: Supports personalization, prototyping and creative projects.
- OmniElement and ReadyPrint swap technology: AtomForm says it can reduce filament waste by up to 90% and speed material and color transitions.
- Up to 800 mm/s maximum print speed and 25,000 mm/s² acceleration: Designed for high throughput.
- 300 x 300 x 300 mm build volume: Supports larger prints, multi-part assemblies and batching.
- 50 sensors and four AI cameras: Used for print monitoring and process checks.
- Up to 48 dB operation with air filtration: Designed for home, school and office settings.
Availability
AtomForm expects the Palette 300 to be commercially available in early Q2 2026. The company plans a
Kickstarter pre-order campaign with early discounts in early Q1 2026.
