Co Print, a 3D printing hardware company with offices in Istanbul and London, will take its first in-house 3D printer to Kickstarter on 12 November 2026. The machine, called Quadro, is a desktop FDM printer with four independent toolheads on a single rail. It is aimed at users who print in several colours or materials in one job.
Most desktop multicolour printers today feed several filaments through one shared nozzle. Each colour change forces the printer to cut the old filament and purge it, which wastes material and adds time. Co Print says Quadro avoids this step because each colour has its own nozzle. The company has made multicolour add-on hardware since 2019, and Quadro is its first complete printer.
How the four-toolhead system works
Each of the four toolheads has its own filament, nozzle and temperature setting. Heads that are not printing wait in sealed parking bays, which Co Print calls QDock Stations. At a colour change, the active head slides out and the next one slides in. Co Print puts this swap at about one second.
Nothing is picked up or detached during the change, and there is no shared nozzle to flush. The company says this cuts filament waste by up to 90%. It has not yet published the test conditions behind that figure. Readers new to the process can see how FDM 3D printing works.
Key specifications
- Four independent toolheads, each rated up to 300°C
- Build volume of 300 × 300 × 300 mm, reachable by every head
- Up to four materials in one print
- Listed materials: PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA and carbon-fibre filaments
- Colour change time of about one second, as stated by Co Print
- Optional enclosure and filament dryer for engineering materials
PVA support means users could pair a build material with a water-soluble support in the same job. For a primer on these plastics, see our guide to the most common 3D printing filaments.
Pricing and availability
The Kickstarter campaign opens at 8:00 AM Pacific Time on 12 November. Early backers can order Quadro from US $649 (approximately ₹61,300). The planned retail price is US $899 (approximately ₹85,000). A higher tier adds the enclosure and filament dryer, and multi-printer bundles are aimed at print farms. Co Print says more than 4,000 people have reserved the printer ahead of launch.
Shipping is planned to start worldwide in the first quarter of 2027. Co Print has not confirmed an Indian distributor or local pricing. Buyers comparing options may find our checklist of factors to consider when buying a 3D printer useful.
What comes next
Co Print will show Quadro running at Formnext 2026 in Frankfurt, Hall 12.1, Booth G89, from 17 to 20 November. The company says copy and mirror printing, CMYK full-colour printing and mixed nozzle sizes are in development. It plans to add them later through free software updates.
As with any crowdfunded hardware, delivery dates and features can change before shipping. Co Print has delivered two previous Kickstarter campaigns, in 2021 and 2023.
