Additional Context

Pull up the print stats on multi-color FDM jobs. The number that stings isn’t time; it’s material efficiency. On six-color models, single-nozzle systems consume significant filament during transition flushing, expelling waste as purge towers or blocks. For high-transition prints, this overhead sometimes approaches the final part’s mass. Operators know this. Most have absorbed it into production economics and moved on. MOVA AtomForm, however, has chosen a different approach. Walking at RAPID + TCT 2026, you see plenty of multi-color solutions — most still fighting that same problem. But at Booth #1313, something stood out. Making its debut, the Palette 300 doesn’t just optimize flushing; it removes the condition that makes extensive flushing necessary.
