Protective Coatings for 3D Printed Parts
Protective coatings for 3D printed parts are applied layers used to seal, smooth or protect additively manufactured surfaces.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Resin prints, thermoplastic prints and powder-based parts present different porosity, chemistry and surface texture. A coating compatible with one printing material may behave differently on another.
Two-component finishing resins can fill layer texture, but also add thickness. Dimensional interfaces and fine features therefore require separate attention from decorative surfaces.
What turns activity into demand
The useful specification balances sealing or smoothing with the tolerances of the printed part. Count coating material separately from printed-part production and finishing services.
The commercial boundary
Count coating material separately from printed-part production and finishing services.
