Typically (when client hasn’t chosen colour on his own) we make models in white, ivory, grey or black. We can offer basic colour pallette and we can also paint models on special RAL value based hue.
We gladly test new materials for customer needs. For special request we can offer dissolvable support materials (made of PVA or HIPS) for better surface quality of a model and services such as chemical smoothing, sanding, drilling, glueing, filling, covering with epoxy resin etc.
SLS
We realise SLS prints from PA12 (PA2200) polyamide powder available in white colour.
