The world of 3D printing is at times a tangled web of technologies, materials, and new processes and capabilities and that can make navigating the 3D printing ecosystem difficult.
3D printing doesn’t refer to one kind of manufacturing or technological process and therefore a well-rounded understanding requires an in-depth look into all available 3D printing systems.
While it’s not exactly easy to bundle 30+ years of manufacturing advancements into a succinct article, we’ve taken on the challenge because we want to help you make informed and grounded decisions on how, where and when to implement 3D printing into your own business operations or even daily life.

About the 3D Printing Process
3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, is a process that utilizes a CAD file (typically an STL) to produce a 3-dimensional part.
Objects are produced layer by layer using a variety of different materials and layer adhesion technologies.

Types of 3D Printing
Stereolithography (SLA)
is known for achieving highly detailed and functionally accurate parts. The technology utilizes a mirror
that is programmed to direct an ultraviolet laser to draw and cure a part's cross-section onto a vat of photopolymer resin.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
is a common process for early stage prototypes. Machines range from hobbiest-grade to professional grade.
PolyJet is a 3D printing technology similar to inkjet document printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, PolyJet
machines jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly cure them with UV light. This process is ideal for
visual models and functional prototypes.

Custom Finishing for 3D-Printed Parts
Looking to boost the strength, clarity, or appearance of your 3D-printed parts? Choose from microfluidic and micro-resolution materials, metal plating, secondary machining, and custom finishes like painting, clear coating, and decaling.
Post-Processing for 3D Printing
Choose from 3D printing finishing options that strengthen parts, improve cosmetic appearance, and other benefits.
Clear coating
is available and commonly applied to parts to create a clear cosmetic finish. Painting is also possible on
3D-printed parts. Some sanding and polishing will be needed to make the surface smooth, after which the part can be masked off and
painted with whatever colors you like—just send the Pantone numbers with your design upload, together with a CAD model indicating
which color goes where. The parts are sprayed with an automotive-grade paint. Soft-touch painting is also available.

Parts that are 3D printed with stereolithography can be dyed various colors to quickly improve cosmetic appearance.
Plating
on 3D-printed parts increases strength and durability of plastic parts. Electroless nickel plating is a great way to mimic
a cast aluminum or magnesium part for light-weighting purposes.

Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years;
it is also critical for modern technology.
it is also critical for modern technology.
Dyeing
or painting
of stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), and PolyJet parts is possible at Protolabs. SLA parts can be dyed black, green, red, blue, or yellow. The finished parts are simply bathed in hot dye for a short while for a consistent color. This option is one of the fastest, lowest-cost ways to make printed parts cosmetically appealing.There’s no chance of masking off certain areas like there is with painting, but for SLA, SLS, MJF, and PolyJet parts, especially those made of translucent acrylic or polycarbonate-like materials, this is often an excellent option.
Decaling
provides a great way to attach company logos, safety warnings, and other graphic to increase cosmetics or functionality.
We don't supply these products, but can apply them for you. Note that adhesive and thermal-transfer decals won’t stick to the
rough surface typical of some 3D-printed parts, making sanding or otherwise smoothing of the target surface a prerequisite to decal applicatio n.

Texturing
improves the finish of 3D-printed parts by making them less slippery, improves ergonomics, and enhances cosmetic appearance. When prototyping 3D-printed parts that will later be injection molded, it’s possible to apply a spray texture to mimic a Mold-Tech brand-like finish used in many mold cavities. This same technique can be used to apply a soft-touch paint or urethane clear coat to a 3D-printed part, a process that also improves weather and sun resistance on the UV-curable materials used with SLA.
Polishing
is possible on 3D-printed parts to create a high-quality finish. Again, some level of smoothing is needed to apply paint
and decals, but highly cosmetic surfaces can be taken even further. If this is a requirement, you'll need to identify your finish
expectations on your part with a drawing or screenshot.

expectations on your part with a drawing or screenshot.
Heat treating
metal parts build with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) eliminates heat-induced stress and potential warping. It's also used to harden DMLS metals, strengthen them, make them less prone to cracking and fatigue, or make them more pliable. If you’re looking for an extremely tough and hardened 3D-printed metal, stainless steel 17-4 PH is a solid option. Secondary machining is possible on DMLS parts if a highly accurate, smooth surface is specified. Other high-requirement operations for DMLS include boring or reaming close tolerance holes or tapping of those that require threads. And depending on the material, inserts of various kinds can be heat-staked or glued into place.
