Co Print Quadro Adds Four-Head Multicolor Printing, Cuts Purge Waste

Co Print revealed the Quadro on December 29, 2025, introducing a compact bedslinger FFF machine built around four independent toolheads that share a common X axis. Each head rides on the same carriage but parks in dedicated bays outside the build area when inactive, capped to prevent oozing and cross-contamination. That parking-station approach removes the need for single-nozzle filament swaps and the purge towers or long cleaning moves that commonly inflate print time and filament waste.

The Quadro targets a 300 × 300 × 300 mm class build volume and uses independent stepper-driven extruders with per-head temperature and flow control. Co Print included automatic XYZ calibration and an onboard AI camera for fault detection as part of the package, positioning the system for multi-color and multi-material workflows where frequent tool changes are common. Co Print described the launch model as early-access reservations ahead of a Kickstarter campaign, and each reservation slot is fully refundable.

Practical value for makers is straightforward. Removing purge cycles reduces filament waste on jobs with many color changes, and cutting long cleaning moves shortens overall print time. The capped parking bays keep inactive nozzles sealed and ready, which helps when printing with different materials or colors in the same job. Per-head temperature and flow control lets you tune extrusion for diverse filaments without hardware swapping, while automatic calibration and AI camera monitoring aim to reduce setup time and early-failure scrap.

If you are evaluating multicolor options, check slicer compatibility and how your chosen workflow will assign extruders and toolpaths. Verify cooling and retraction settings per toolhead, plan filament management to avoid cross-contamination, and test calibration prints to confirm the automatic XYZ routine behaves on your first jobs. The Quadro’s architecture offers an alternative to single-nozzle multi-filament systems and purge towers that will be especially useful for labs, makerspaces, and small businesses running many color-change prints.

Co Print’s refundable early-access reservations lower the barrier to trying the approach, and the company’s emphasis on an inexpensive entry price signals wider accessibility for community users who want practical multicolor printing without the usual waste and time penalties.
