HueForge
Tools to get it — and choose right
Full-colour 3D printing rests on a couple of ideas that feel abstract until you see them move. These interactive tools make TD and subtractive colour click, then point you at the right filament to buy.
TD layer simulator — interactive
Drag thickness and TD; watch a filament go from a pale wash to full colour, with a live cross-section. The clearest way to understand Transmission Distance.
Why screen colour ≠ print — interactive
Side-by-side subtractive (CMYK) vs additive (RGB) mixers, plus a tonal-value ladder showing why HueForge works in lightness, not hue.
Filament-painting gradient — interactive
Watch a few translucent filaments blend into a gradient from thickness alone — with a banding score that tells you which spools gradient cleanly.
Achievable-gamut cloud — interactive
See exactly which colours a CMYK set can print — a sparse cloud of real recipes — and test whether your target colour is reachable.
Find your set — guided
Three questions about what you're making → the right set type (front-lit black-key or backlit white-key) and the matching priced packs.
