Color Dyed

- Dyed: Your part is submerged into a bath containing color pigment. This process is also referred to as pigmentation or impregnation.
Smooth
- Loose powder removed
- Sandblasted
- Smoothened: Your part is mechanically polished by being put into a tumbler with pebbles that smooth your part while the tumbler vibrates at a high frequency.
- We can only smoothen the A-side (the outside of your part), it’s not possible to completely polish the inside.
- The polishing process will take 0.1 mm of material off your part, so add extra wall thickness to avoid any problems.
- Small details could be worn away and may even disappear.
- Colors will appear lighter than on regular-dyed parts.
- Edges will be rounded and your part will become less’ crisp’ once polished.
- Color variation may occur due to a difference in the level of smoothness (e.g. inside and inside of corners) and production processes. Because of the unique nature of this production process regarding parameters, building position, and light deflection, this can cause variation in the intensity of the colors.
