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
Painting the surface of a part improves its aesthetic appearance and can provide brand recognition to consumers. In addition, painting can have a protective effect on parts.
Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel
Black, any RAL code or Pantone number
Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured
Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.
Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel

Gloss
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.
Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel
Black, any RAL code or Pantone number
Gloss or semi-gloss
Bead Blasting
Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.
ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel

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.
