Surface Finishing for 3D Printing

Surface finishing options for 3D printing provide a range of enhancements to the printed parts. Check out these customized finishing options and find one that suits your project.
Name Description Materail Compatibility Color Texture
3d printing painting Painting Choose from a wide range of paints and coatings that can achieve the desired look and feel. Plastics and metals RAL or Pantone code Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured
3d printing polishing 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) Raw material Smooth and glossy
3d printing powder coating 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 (Alumium, stainless steel, steel) Standard and custom options Gloss or semi-gloss
3d printing bead blasting 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 and plastics N/A Matte or satin-like

3D Printing General Tolerance

General tolerances in 3D printing services can vary depending on the specific 3D printing technology, material, and applications. However, some typical general 3D printing tolerances are as below.
Description Tolerance Notes
Linear Dimensions +/- 0.1 mm to +/- 0.2 mm
Wall Thickness +/- 0.1 mm to +/- 0.2 mm
Hole Diameter +/- 0.2 mm to +/- 0.4 mm
Fillet Radius +/- 0.2 mm to +/- 0.4 mm
Flatness +/- 0.2 mm to +/- 0.4 mm
*The value are depending on the part size and technology.

Yes, 3D printing can be scaled up for small-batch production or on-demand manufacturing, but it may have limitations for high-volume production.

Common file formats are STP or STL files generated from 3D modeling software.

It depends on the complexity, size, and quantity of objects, but turnaround times can range from hours to days.

Yes, post-processing techniques like sanding, painting, or coating can be applied to achieve desired surface finishes.
