Grit 3D offers a range of 3D printing post-processing techniques to help you get the best out of your 3D printed parts.
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

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:
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

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

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
