ACE Pro

With the Anycubic Color Engine Pro (ACE Pro) you can print multiple materials simultaneously, create complex objects in colourful combinations and save time and resources.

Compatible filament spools:

• Spool diameter 195-200 mm,
• Spool width 60-68 mm.

Printing with 4 to 8 different colours simultaneously

With 4 available spool slots, the automatic multicolour material system can accommodate up to 4 different colours at the same time to optimally support your multicolour printing. With an additional ACE system, you can even achieve 8-colour printing with a wide colour palette.

How does multi-colour printing work with Color Engine Pro?

The desired colours are automatically switched during the printing process according to your slicer settings and the corresponding consumables are delivered to the printer. It's that easy!

Active drying function for more printing success

ACE Pro uses a dual 200-watt PTC heating element for active and even drying of your filaments during the printing process. The heating module is supported by two powerful fans that ensure hot air circulation. Tip: The interior temperature can be set up to 55 °C with optimal humidity.

Drying during printing or filament storage

The drying function can of course be used throughout the entire printing process to ensure that moisture-free filaments are always available. However, thanks to the Sealed Space Design, the Color Engine Pro can also be used for the safe and careful storage of filaments.

Anti-tangle design

The Anycubic Color Engine Pr o is connected to the extruder in parallel through four output tubes. Since each of the filament slots has its own output line, when changing colours, not all of the filament wire in the output line needs to be wound back to the spool, but only the part that is fed back into the inner chamber of the extruder. This reduces the possibility of spool entanglement on the one hand and prevents the material from running out in a moment on the other.

An active rewind function allows the device to actively rewind the filament during a colour change. The combination of a parallel connection and active winding benefits the anti-tangling function.

Smart features:

Clogging detection: A smart mechanical buffer structure detects blockages in good time and consequently interrupts the print.

Automatic refilling of two consecutive colour filament spools: After the first spool has been used up, printing of the second roll with the same colour filament will automatically begin.

Intelligent colour change: A special algorithm calculates the colour category of the printed model layer by layer. Adjacent layers are continuously printed with the same colour, reducing material changes and filament waste. This also noticeably reduces the overall printing time of a model.

RFID Sync: In-house filament spools equipped with an RFID chip are automatically recognised by the ACE in terms of their colour and material type.
