Surface Finishing Options for ABS 3D Printing
Surface treatment plays a vital role in enhancing the appearance, durability, and functionality of 3D printing ABS parts. Each technology offers different benefits depending on the application. Based on your needs, we will customize your 3D printing solution to ensure the high precision and competitiveness of your products.
Painting
Painting involves Spray droplets can be dispersed uniformly or in fine amounts to cover a wide surface area and bring out greater color to the part.
Polishing
Working on metal and hard plastics, our polishing uses highly efficient machinery to get our parts between Ra 0.8~Ra0.1 for a cleaner surface.
Sand Blasting
Band blasting cleans the surface of any impurities and peels coating through the propelling of blast media streams over the parts.
Electroplating
Electroplating reduces metal cations in the electrolyte solution, producing a metallic coating on a metal surface. This process can be used for purposes of corrosion and wear resistance, as well as for decorative purposes.
Laser Carving
Helpful in brand recognition or parts organization, we use laser carving that applies various printing methods during full-scale production to quickly embed barcodes, lettering and logos on the parts.
Heat Transfer Printing
Heat Transfer Printing applies heat and pressure to transfer designs onto surfaces, creating durable, vibrant graphics suitable for various materials.
