What Is FDM 3D Printing?
In the context of 3D printing, FDM (fused deposition modeling) is a popular additive manufacturing technique. FDM 3D printing builds custom parts by heating and extruding thermoplastics layer-by-layer. It is a good option for rapid prototypes and low-volume on-demand manufacturing end-use parts. Material options include popular thermoplastics like ABS, TPU, PEI, PETG, and more. Get an instant quote for FDM parts.

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

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.
