Dear Joseph Sim and list,

There are at least two systems that would be fairly easy to adapt to
"true color". One is Z corps 3D printer and the other is LOM. In fact,
the first full resolution color patent (kinzie 1991) is a lamination
technology. Its worth a read of the patent for it is quite insightful as
to various ways color can be applied.

I think that SLS may also be a likely candidate for color applications.

In regards color the problem doesn't seem to be hardware at all. Rather
it is a suitable file format which needs invention or tweaking.

best,
