PRIMING & PAINTING

The first step of getting the 3D printed part painted in any color is priming. It helps create a flawless final surface for the painting process.

After priming, thin coats of paints are applied until your simple 3D printed part is transformed into a ready to display consumer product.

Key Features:

Key Limitations:

Enhanced look & feel

Smooth & even finish

Can be painted with multiple colors

Increased weight

Tolerances are altered

Process takes long time

VAPOR SMOOTHING

It is the most popular post-processing technique for models printed with ABS material. The process involves treating 3D printed part in a closed environment which reacts with the outer layers of the model and melts it. This outer layer lines fade and a shiny look is revealed.

Key Features:

Key Limitations:

ico-18

Shiny & glossy (Great for gifts)

Fast processing time

Affects the dimensional accuracy

Negatively impacts on the strength of the model

Works on ABS material only

EPOXY COATING

A two-part epoxy resin coat is applied to the 3d printed part in order to seal its surface. The airtight seal around the model does not only give it a shiny look but also increases its resistance to high temperatures and various chemicals. Highly suitable for components that will be exposed to harsh operating conditions.

Key Features:

Key Limitations:

Does not impact the tolerances

Durability

Visible layer lines

Process takes long time

SANDING & POLISHING

A surface finishing technique that begins with smoothing out and removing small imperfections from the model using industrial grade sand papers. A wide range of grit sizes are used consecutively until any sort of coat can be applied on the surface of the model.

Finally, for a mirror-like surface finish, a polishing compound is applied designed specifically for plastics and synthetics.

Key Features:

Key Limitations:

Mirror-like finish

 

Any roughest of part can be smoothened

Process takes very long time

Affects the dimensional accuracy

Difficult to reach some spots, especially small holes and undercuts
