AMF does have a way to support that, by specifying a composite material
with a function depending on z axis. That is a use case outside what I have
considered so far, and I'm not sure how many slicers support that sort of
"advanced AMF". I will add it to the list though.

Ciao,
I read the thread and looks very interesting. I am new here so hopefully I
am not out of space in what I say! :)
I am building a large 3D printer with multi materials and I am interested
in
a Openscad solution to this.
So the first idea that would come to my mind is to have multi material per
different layers based on a simple %. Let say you have an object with hight
or thickness of 10mm, I would specify to have 25% layers alternate the
materials between the one you choose. Does it make sense?
Right know I have a very large object 1000mm and I need to alternate 2 or 3
materials based on layers so that I would have a sandwich of 3 layers with
3
materials.
Isn't the AMF format suitable for that?
Thanks in advance!

Ciao,
thanks for the infos,
Here another video on what it means printing with different
layers/materials, in this case kevlar and nylon:

what printer was used? please let us know!
thanks
yvette
Ciao,
the printer is made by a company based in Cambridge/Boston, here a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbuu7UD2GVk
They are doing special filaments development too.

b. multiple extruder with mixing hotend. (for this discussion say Diamond
Hotend http://reprap.org/wiki/Diamond_Hotend
Please be aware that a nozzle like Diamond Hotend does not do a color
mixing.
There is no mixing chamber.
The 3 colors meet in the center and come out together like toothpaste, one
color one one side.

I'm still doing my research. That can still be useful for different material
properties, such as ABS & NinjaFlex to have variable flexibility.
So for colours in this discussion, say the one here
http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/a/a5/Pia-taubert-material-mixing-report.pdf
(skip to [pdf page num] 32 if you don't want history of 3D printing, or pg
18 if you want to read about colour theory). It uses active mixing ie
motorised.
It also proposes a G-code method to control multiple extruders at varying
rates of output. Basically all the extruder ratios (0-1) add up to 1, and
they are extruded at those rates to the overall E extrude number, at any
point in time. See pg 40+.
So when such a technique progresses some means of representing those ratios
in the material specification is needed.

Actually have a look at mixing

promising.

With the partly transparent PLA there doesnt seem to be a toothpaste effect.
But if you look at the print with (non-transparent) black and copper you`ll
see it quiet clearly:

is very interesting. It uses a a vertical rod of hexagonal shape that
rotates continuously and actively mixes
two (or in this design up to six different colors) colors together:

Yes. So what I'm trying to say is that this capability is incoming, so
whatever internal mechanisms need to be designed with this as a future
possibility, not necessarily now, but choosing an implementation now, needs
to recognise that this will be a next step.
Although it may be Real-Soon-Now (TM).
I'm looking into slicers support, to be documented shortly, but so far, they
seem to be single material only. But my searches are in early stages.
I note a comment at reprep.org from 2012, basically saying multi-stuff is
chicken and egg, without support in slicers/firmware multi-stuff is not
needed in OpenSCAD, while without support in OpenSCAD mutli-stuff, does not
need to be supported in slicers/firmware.
So at least, slic3r, supports AMF with multi materials (details to follow),
so to advance, we need OpenSCAD to support multi-materials in AMF export,
soonish.
