Product Description:
HueForge is an impressive software that lets you PAINT WITH FILAMENT!
HueForge gives you the ability to produce detailed color images, with both Filament Painting and Backlit Lithophane with Layered Colors.
All done with just layer swaps. You don't NEED a fancy printer with an AMS or MMU (sure they make it easier by changing the colors for you) to get great results!
HueForge is software which allows you to create detailed multi-color 3D Prints using only Swap-by-Layer through a process we call Filament Painting. It isn't a slicer or a painting program. HueForge generates a model file for you, and then using the sliders you see on the bottom of the image, and the magic of Transmission Distance, predicts what your final print will look like after printing.
After you are happy with how it should look, it will export a text file giving you the layer heights at which you should set up your colors swaps. While an automatic filament changer is nice, many images have just a 3-4 colors swaps and can easily be managed by hand. But if your 3D printer has MMU then you can use it to change colors automatically. It's just not required.
Filament painting opens up a new realm of artistic expression within the world of 3D printing. The ability to transform 2D images into three-dimensional marvels is captivating, enabling artists, designers, and hobbyists to unleash their creativity and push the boundaries of what is possible. With HueForge and its intuitive interface, the process of filament painting becomes accessible to all, bridging the gap between imagination and reality. Whether used for personal projects or commercial ventures, filament painting offers endless possibilities in the realm of additive manufacturing.
To explore the capabilities of HueForge, the first step is to find an image suitable for filament painting. While any image can be used, those with crisp lines and high contrast yield better results. AI image generation tools can be employed to create royalty-free images, opening up a world of possibilities for artists and designers without copyright concerns. Once an image is selected, it can be imported into HueForge, where a grayscale version is immediately generated. The interface may appear complex at first, but with familiarity, its operation becomes relatively straightforward.
One of the fundamental steps in using HueForge is selecting the filaments and adjusting the colors for the desired effect. The filament library panel on the left provides information regarding specific filaments and their light transmission distance (TD). The lower the transmission distance, the less light passes through, thereby influencing the overall appearance. By dragging and dropping colors onto the sliders in the interface, users can modulate the Height of the sliders to dictate the prominence of each color. Tweak the sliders until a satisfactory result is achieved, and the project can be saved and exported as an STL file.
Once the model is exported, it can be sliced using compatible software such as Bamboo Studio, Prusa Slicer, or any other compatible slicing program. Adjusting settings such as layer height and infill density allows for customization Based on personal preferences. Additionally, the layer slider in the slicing software helps identify the transition points for filament changes according to the documentation provided by qforge. By specifying these transitional layers, users can ensure a seamless Fusion of colors in their final printed model.
The question now lies with You - will you explore this technique on your own 3D printer or continue to pursue the third dimension? The world of filament painting awaits, ready to breathe life into your imagination. Make your mark in the realm of 3D printing and embrace the transformative power of filament painting.
