Why don’t my color preview or file textures match the final part?

The file preview is intended to display the geometry of your uploaded file, but it does not represent the final printed result.

Color differences
When you upload a colored file, the preview may show multiple colors. However, the part will always be printed in the selected material and chosen (single) color finishing. Multi‑color printing is not supported, so only one color can be applied to the final part.

Textures in files
If your file contains textures, these will not appear in the file preview and will not be printed. Textures are ignored during production, and only the part’s geometry is used for manufacturing.
