This week the big 3D Printing news surrounded the launch of the new file format 3MF. The format launched by the 3MF Consortium consisting of Microsoft, Autodesk, HP, netfabb, SLM Solutions and Shapeways aims to bridge the gap that exists between STLs and features like 3D printing in multi-materials and full colour.

The last property, colour, was an issue we explored in the latest issue of TCT magazine and do the same in this latest episode of the Additive Insight podcast.

In this episode host, Laura Griffiths, talks to Mcor Technologies CEO Dr Conor MacCormack, Adobe's Mike Scrutton, Spectrom's co-founder Cedric Kovacs-Johnson, Faberdashery's Technical Director Dr Andrew Dent and Shapeways' Savannah Peterson and Raphael Stargrove about the current state of full colour 3D printing, the latest software/hardware advances and that all important topic of file format.
