1-1.Can I paint directly on 3D printed parts?
If you paint the product right after receiving it, the layer lines from the additive process may still be visible. Our standard sanding focuses on support removal, so smaller parts or intricate details may not be fully smoothed.
For the best finish, we recommend performing additional sanding and applying a surface primer before painting.
1-2.Can I supply my own material for 3D printing?
No. For quality and safety, only verified materials are used per machine specification.
1-3.Can I specify build orientation or bed placement?
The production direction, bed placement surface, print speed, etc. are set to the optimal production method at the discretion of the production engineer.
If you have a special request, please submit it via 1:1 inquiry.
1-4.What’s the difference between translucent and fully transparent resin finishes?
When using clear resin, the default output is semi-transparent.
By applying surface sanding and transparent finishing to the semi-transparent part, it can be processed into a transparent product similar to acrylic, as shown below.
1-5.Is 3D printing only suitable for prototyping? Can it be used for mass production as well?
3D printing is highly versatile. It supports not only rapid prototyping but also small-batch production and bridge manufacturing. From early concept validation to end-use parts, 3D printing can be applied across a wide range of development stages.
1-6.Is Sand Blasting a lower-quality option?
No. Sand blasting is not intended to reduce quality, but to standardize the process for consistent results and better cost efficiency.
Basic support removal and general surface cleaning are included, while additional precision surface finishing steps are excluded.
1-7.What is the difference between Sand Blasting and Surface Finishing as post-processing options for 3D printing?
Sand blasting is a post-processing option that focuses on support mark removal and general surface cleaning, offering faster lead times and better cost efficiency.
Surface finishing, on the other hand, includes additional precision sanding and polishing after support removal, providing higher appearance quality as a premium option.
You can choose the appropriate option based on your application and required quality level.
1-8.Which option should I choose depending on my application?
For functional prototypes such as form verification or assembly testing, sand blasting is recommended due to its faster turnaround time and cost efficiency.
For applications where appearance quality is critical—such as display models, photography, or parts before painting—surface finishing is recommended, as it provides a more uniform and smoother surface.
