Something3D Announces Full Color ST3D Chameleon 3D Printer

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Dotan Koskas and Itzik Molcho of Something3D say they've built an FFF 3D printer that is capable of what's known as "full color" output. Depending on your definition of exactly what that means, it could well be a breakthrough moment for their company. As of now, the options for "full color" 3D printing are limited to devices like the 3D Systems Cube Pro and higher end offerings from Stratasys among others. The Something3D machine, called the Chameleon, uses what the firm says is a single, patent-pending nozzle system to create "full color" output using a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and White filaments.

Below is a picture of the ST3D Chameleon. What do you guys think? Is this a legitimate new full-color technology? How about the price of over $7k?:

So they just stuck 5 filament tubes into the extruder, whoop-dee-doo. It's interesting sure, but not $7000 interesting.
