Colors bring products to life! This is especially true for 3D-printing and additive manufacturing. With appropriate post-processing and individual colors, raw parts can become high-quality products.
That's why the Munich-based company DyeMansion picks up the "Pantone Color of the Year" and uses it to bring products to life.
For over 20 years, Pantone has chosen a color of the year. After "Living Coral" in 2019 and "Classic Blue" in 2020, the color experts of the Pantone Color Institute selected two colors this year: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13- 0647. Here's how Pantone describes its 2021 dual color selection: "A combination of color whose ties to insight, innovation and intuition, and respect for wisdom, experience, and intelligence inspires regeneration, pressing us forward toward new ways of thinking and concepts."
WHAT DOES THE PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR HAVE TO DO WITH CHESS?
Knowledge and strength on one side (Ultimate Gray), intuition and liveliness on the other (Illuminating): the two colors enter into a perfect harmony that every chess player also needs during a game. Chess has experienced an enormous boom since the successful Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit". Did you recognize the Queen's Gambit chess moves in the video by DyeMansion?
THE LARGEST COLOR DATABASE FOR 3D-PRINTED PARTS
DyeMansion presents the largest color database on the market for 3D-printed applications: RAL, Pantone and any other color of your choice. Including not only SLS parts, but also, for the first time, vibrant colors for gray HP Multi Jet Fusion parts.
Color Matching from DyeMansion lets you colorize 3D-printed parts in your corporate color or any color of your choice. From exactly replicating the color of an njection-molded part to developing special shades that match skin tones, for example.
Using DyeMansion technology, you are able to color your parts reproducible in almost any color of choice and turn them into high-value, colorful products.
DYEMANSION DM60: THE LEADING COLORING SOLUTION FOR INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING
Coloring 3D-printed plastic parts has long been a manual, uncontrollable process. The DM60's industrial DeepDye Coloring has an enormous number of advantages over manual pot dyeing and enables an industrial process that could not be easier for the user and can be reproduced any time. The power lies in the color cartridges, which DyeMansion manufactures depending on base material, finish and desired color.
In recent years, DyeMansion has already picked up the Pantone Color of the Year. Among others, "Boltenstern" has decided to release a line of earrings in Pantone Classic Blue. If you would like to see your own product in Pantone Illuminate Yellow for example, you can get your own sample kit from DyeMansion. Or you can work with them to develop your very own color.
R&D Engineer Constanza Oszwald on this year's Pantone colors: "This year, our color matching with the Pantone colors of the year was of course particularly exciting. Put simply, this is where the heaviest color, gray, and the easiest color, yellow, met."
DyeMansion as a partner is already trusted by more than six hundred customers, including leading global manufacturers in diverse industries, such as eyewear, automotive, retail, medical and sports equipment. One thing always applies: color brings products to life and turns a raw part into a high-quality product. And so DyeMansion becomes the "Home of a colorful Future".
