(for 3D printing)
- Make it easy to model and export multi-material designs.
- Evaluate and export all colors in one operation
- Export as AMF, OBJ, or some way of packing STL (look at how 3D slicer SW handles this)
- Introduce a new module for specifying material (
material?) - Make it possible to create multi-color models without having to create separate, explicit, separate geometries. This could be difficult - needs examples!
- Define the result of doing CSG operations on objects with different materials. Options:
- Choose a master material and use that
- In case of difference, create a veneer with a defined thickness (to give similar results as you would with surface-based tools like POVRay)
- In case of intersection and union, define a smart way of splitting object by e.g. defining an isosurface where the influence of each object is equal and creating separate objects on each side of that surface
- Look into options for doing color mixing

- Ask community what technology, they have/want supported.
- e.g. Two colour/material FDM, higher end stuff like full colour sandstone at shapeways etc.
