Abstract

As 3D printing becomes an increasingly popular technology, knowledge of the processes employed by a printer becomes more important. In this paper, one particular printer, the Zcorp Spectrum Z510, is studied in terms of its color production. Two approaches to a spectral model are evaluated in terms of their ability to predict output colors of the printer based on input RGB values. The models and their performance are presented below.
