Rapid 3D Prototype Printing Service
- More faster, more flexible, and lower-cost
- Create almost any shape of objects
Types of 3D Printing
Generally speaking, FDM uses high temperature to melt the material into a liquid state, extrude it through the print head and solidify it, and finally arrange it in three-dimensional space to form a three-dimensional object.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an industrial 3D printing process ideal for manufacturing end-use parts. In SLS, a laser selectively sinters polymer powder particles, fusing them together and building a part layer by layer.

Painting
Enhance the appearance of your 3D printed object with custom colors and finishes. Choose from a wide range of paints and coatings to achieve the desired look and feel.
Plastics, Metals
Customization is Available
Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured

Polishing
Achieve a smooth and glossy surface finish through mechanical polishing techniques. This process removes layer lines and imperfections, resulting in a refined appearance.
Plastics (PLA, ABS) and Resins
n/a
Smooth and Glossy

Powder Coating
Apply a durable and protective powder coating to your 3D-printed part. This process involves electrostatic-ally applying a fine powder, which is then cured to create a tough and resistant finish.
Metals (Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel)
Standard, Metallic, and Custom Options.
Gloss or Semi-gloss

Bead Blasting
Utilize bead blasting to achieve a uniform and textured surface finish. This process involves propelling small abrasive particles at the surface of the object.
Metals (aluminum, steel, titanium) and Certain Plastics
n/a
Matte or Satin-like

What is 3D Printing?
3D printing (3DP) is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is advanced prototype engineering that uses powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects based on digital model files by printing layer by layer.
Zhongde offers 3d printing rapid prototyping services and solutions to meet your special needs, such as 3d printed molds for injection molding. Instead of being replaced by 3d printing, our injection mold tooling is from 3d printed molds, with low prototype cost.
