3D Five Color Process Printing Products Competition, Which Is Better

3D print, the whole process is divided into early, middle and late print modeling postprocessing. In the postprocessing process, the color is a particularly difficult part is also particularly important. Because the color for display products, is an essential part of the. The color processing quality, directly affect the consumer first impression of the product. So according to the color, today 3D tiger finishing the comparison about pure handmade, painting, dyeing, electroplating, spray plating nano four main color mode.

In order to facilitate comparison, first ensure the product surface smoothness is the same. Then, from the six aspects of our color gloss, rich colors, cost, production cycle and product comparison:

A pure hand,

Hand painted in a sense, is the most easy to learn and easy to operate. However, if you want to create a better surface color effect, need to be coated with a layer of light color rendering (light gray or white), and then coated with the main color, to prevent uneven color or color phenomenon. And the need to adopt the cross color coating method, namely the first layer to dry wet conditions plus second layer of fresh paint brush, direction of the second layer and the first layer of a vertical angle.

Color gloss, mostly due to the use of oily dye, so that micro disseminated, but lower than that of spraying, electroplating and nano plating. Although the diversity of color in the no limit, but the transition of mixed color as nano plating is more natural. The tool is simple and easy to obtain and easy to operate, the cost is lower than the other four.

Pure hand-painted products, in effect, by artificial proficiency, two color to grasp the extent of the impact of various factors such as, in effect, it is difficult to reach the ideal state, and the effect of lower than painting, dyeing, electroplating, nanometer spray plating. The same product color effect is the worst, a comprehensive assessment of 2 points.

Two, paint

Painting is one of the main technology of current color printing products 3D. Because the paint attached to a higher degree, so it has wide application range. In the color block, by the original product mirror effect, gloss after electroplating and nano plating effect. But the homework is single color, by spraying and drying of paint effects, multicolor spraying is difficult. In the production cycle, after spraying drying and details need fine-tuning, so the operation period needs 3 to 4 hours.

Painting, the cost is moderate and the most widely applicable. Effect of the product, by artificial proficiency, two color, spray point to grasp the extent of a variety of factors such as strong technical demand. The effect of the end product can meet more demand for products, but lower than that of electroplating and nano plating. If the result in the product can reach its best plain and smooth, comprehensive assessment of 3.5 points.

Three, dip

Dip, as one of the 3D color process printing products, is only applicable to nylon material.

In the diversity of color, color darker and disseminated monochromatic. And the gloss and hand, spray painting, electroplating, nano plating effect compared to the lowest. Although the material and color of the limitations, but the production cycle is short, 30 minutes to complete the color effect.

Dip color, cost is higher than that of pure handicraft and painting, appearance of the final product, but the material and color limitations, a comprehensive assessment of 3 points.

Four, electroplating

The process of plating is plated with a thin layer of metal or alloy in some metal surface by electrolytic principle, process on the surface of metal or other materials are attached to a layer of metal film by electrolysis so as to prevent metal oxide (rust), improve wear resistance, electrical conductivity, reflection, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate) and improves the appearance effect.

In color only chrome, nickel, gold in three, and is only suitable for metal and plastic ABS. Although the product will be affected by the size and shape of the color effect, but the color is pure high specular gloss, crafts, painting and dyeing completely cannot reach.

Plating color, the cost is highest, although the limitations of materials and products is greatly influenced by the size and shape, but the appearance of the product is very effective, comprehensive assessment of 4 points.

Five, nanometer spray plating

Nano plating is currently the world's most cutting-edge high-tech spraying technology, it is the use of special equipment and advanced materials, application of chemical principle by direct spraying methods make the coated surface of object in cash, silver, chrome and various color (green blue purple Hong Huang) such as specular effect.

Nanometer spray plating, can choose a variety of colors, suitable for various materials. Without limitation of size and shape, can also use a variety of colors, the color transition is very natural. Is the color of specular gloss and plating effect, equipment investment according to the production capacity of self. The same products with low cost and excellent effect, comprehensive evaluation of 4.5 points.

So, for the color processing 3D printing products, the product shape before we can use colored PLA supplies, colored ABS supplies, full-color sandstone (solid and dipped glue), colorful color plastic molding products. But if it is needed more and more personalized color shape, still need to take these five methods, has reached the requirements of the final results.
