Matt 
With the matt finish, your model is printed, cleaned up, strengthened by putting it into superglue, and sprayed with a UV coating (to prevent discoloration by sunlight). You can choose between Multicolor Matt (1) or Monochrome Matt (2).

Gloss 
With the gloss finish, your model is printed, cleaned up, strengthened by putting it into superglue, and sprayed with a thicker UV coating than the matt finish (to prevent discoloration by sunlight). You can choose between Multicolor Gloss (3) or Monochrome Gloss (4).


Natural 
The default color and finish for Polyamide (MJF) is gray (1). Slight variations in color may occur throughout your model.


Dyed 
Polyamide (MJF) can be dyed by submerging it into a bath containing color pigment. This dyeing process is also referred to as pigmentation or impregnating. Dyed Polyamide is available colors in Black (2).





Natural 
The default color and finish for Polyamide (SLS) is Natural White (1). This is how you model will be when it was just printed and cleaned up.


Spray paint (A-side)
Polyamide can also be painted with a can of spray paint. The available colors are White spray paint (2) and Black spray paint (3).


Dyed 
Polyamide can be dyed by submerging it into a bath containing color pigment. This dyeing process is also referred to as pigmentation or impregnating. The available colors are Yellow (4), Orange (5), Red (6), Green (7), Blue (8), Purple (9) and  Black (10).


Polished 
It is possible to polish and dye your 3D printed model to create objects that are both smooth and colored. Polishing and dying are a finishing technique that includes 2 consecutive steps, namely polishing and dying, respectively. To polish models, we use a mechanical smoothing process. Your model is put into a tumbler with pebbles that smooth your model while the tumbler vibrates at a high frequency. To color models, we submerge them into a bath containing color pigment. The available colors are White (11), Yellow (12), Orange (13), Red (14), Green (15), Blue (16), Purple (17) and Black (18).

Velvet 
The process of adding a velvet finish to your models is called flocking. First, a suitable adhesive is applied to the surface to be flocked. The flock is then applied, penetrating the surface of the adhesive to create the desired velvet finish. It not only changes the way your model looks but also how it feels.

Electrostatic flock applicators charge the flock particles which are then attracted to the grounded surface that is to be flocked. The electrostatic application ensures that the fibers all end up standing at right angles to the surface resulting in a velvet finish.

The available colors are Velvet Yellow (19), Velvet Ochre (20), Velvet Pink (21), Velvet Bordeaux (22), Velvet Green (23), Velvet Petrol Blue (24), Velvet Blue (25) and Velvet Black (26).



Natural White (1) is the default color and finish of Rubber-like. The material can also be Dyed Black (2) by submerging it into a bath containing color pigment. This dyeing process is also referred to as pigmentation or impregnating.


Gloss 
Gloss (1) is a magnetic finish. The surfaces of your model will be uneven and not as smooth as high gloss models.

High Gloss
With the High Gloss (2) finish, your model will be very shiny and have a smooth surface.

Sandblasted 
With the Sandblasted (3) finish, your model will look matt and have a smooth and even surface.

Satin 
The Satin (4) finish is a surface finish that brushes your model to obtain the effect of lines on the metal. 

Antique 
With the Antique (5) finish, your model will have very shiny and smooth outer surfaces and recessed areas will be darker and unsmoothed.


Natural Yellow 
Natural Yellow (1) is the default color and finish of Standard Resin. All scaffolding used for the production of your model will be removed by us. This option is great if you don’t want to get your hands dirty, but it will result in a higher price.

Natural Yellow with Support 
With Natural Yellow with Support (2), the scaffold-like material used for the production of your model will still be attached to the model and can be removed with tools and sanding paper.


Polished 
Polished Steel is available in Polished Natural (1), Polished Gold Plated (2), Polished Black (3) and Polished Brown (4). When hen the material is polished, unpolished (unreachable) spots like tiny holes stay darker than the polished surfaces. The gold finish is achieved by electroless plating the model.

Unpolished 
Unpolished Steel is available in Unpolished Natural (5), Unpolished Gold Plated (6) and Unpolished Black (7).



Titanium is only available in a Natural Unpolished (1) finish. It doesn't look like traditional shiny milled Titanium. Instead, it’s a bit grayer and more matt with a slightly rougher and less defined surface.



Natural 
Transparent (1) is the default color and finish of Transparent Resin. Transparency is actually achieved by painting your model with colorless varnish. The transparency of the material is not 100% water clear but is somewhere situated between translucent and water clear. However, if your model is solid with a thickness greater than 2 cm, the 3D printed part will have a bluish shine.

Colored 
In order to color to your design, we add pigment to the varnish. The available colors are Transparent White (2), Transparent Yellow (3), Transparent Red (4), Transparent Green (5), Transparent Blue (6), Transparent Gray (7) and Transparent Black (8).
