3D Printing Dyeing Services
Bring Your 3D Prints to Life with Custom Dyeing Solutions
Transform your raw 3D-printed parts with vibrant, eco-friendly colours using state-of-the-art DyeMansion technology. Achieve the professional look your projects deserve.
Parts printed on our HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 in their raw cleaned state are grey with a slightly rough texture.
While a raw grey part is perfect for many applications, parts can be further enhanced by post processing. To acheive an excellent finish, parts are cleaned and smoothed with our Dyemansion post processing equipment. This finished surface is then perfect for colouring, painting, hydrodipping, or electroplating.
Grey parts dye well to black or navy, but other colours come up well too. We use only water based dyes.
Parts can be printed in full colour on the HP Multi Jet Fusion 580.
How It Works
We start by cleaning your 3D-printed parts to remove any powder residue and prepare the surface for a smooth finish.
*Our in-house design team can design or reverse engineer your part or advise on your prepared design.
Using DyeMansion’s advanced technology, we enhance the texture of your parts, making them ready for optimal dye absorption.
Finally, we apply eco-friendly, water-based dyes to customise the colour of your parts. Whether you need a sleek black finish or a vibrant custom hue, we’ve got you covered.
