Surface Finishing for Custom 3D Printing Services
| Name | Description | Materail Compatibility | Color | Texture | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |

What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing. 3D printing creates three-dimensional objects by layering materials based on a digital model through the 3D printer. The 3D printer follows computer-aided design (CAD) file instructions to sequentially deposit or solidify materials, typically in thin layers, until the desired object is formed. This technology allows for the creation of complex and intricate shapes that may be difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods.
Zhongde offers 3D printing rapid prototyping services and solutions to meet your special needs, such as 3D printed molds for injection molding. 3D printed molds are low prototype cost and short time.
3D Printing General Tolerance
| 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. | |
Advantages of Custom 3D Printing Services
3D Printing On demand
allows for highly customized designs with intricate details, making it perfect for unique, one-of-a-kind prototypes and products. You can create complex geometries that traditional manufacturing methods can’t achieve
Rapid Prototyping
Speed up the design process with rapid prototyping. 3D printing allows for quick turnaround times, enabling you to test and iterate designs faster, reducing development time and costs
Cost-Effective for Low-Volume Production
Unlike traditional manufacturing, 3D printing doesn’t require expensive molds or tooling, making it a cost-effective option for small-batch or low-volume production runs
Design Flexibility
3D printing offers unparalleled design flexibility. You can create parts with complex structures, internal features, and customized specifications without the limitations of traditional methods
Reduced Material Waste
With 3D printing, material is added layer by layer, which reduces waste compared to subtractive manufacturing methods. This makes it an eco-friendly choice for production
Applications of Custom 3D Printing Services
Customer Appreciation for 3D Metal and Plastic Services
We recently used 3D printing for a few prototypes, and the results were fantastic. Design changes were so easy to make. At first, we were concerned about the cost, but seeing the final product, it was totally worth it.
Ethan From South Africa
The 3D printed parts this time met our requirements perfectly, and the delivery was fast. The entire process went smoothly, and we’re very happy with the experience. Looking forward to our next collaboration.
Sophia From France
We did a small batch production test, and the results were ideal. The precision and quick turnaround with 3D printing really saved us time, especially when we needed design adjustments.
