A finish engineered to your spec.

All parts built with Multi Jet Fusion come in a shade of grey or off-white due to the black fusing agent used in the process.
We offer to dye parts to create a consistent black finish rather than the default grey, using synthetic nylon dye. Painting is an option — however, dyeing best preserves dimensional accuracy.
As with other 3D printing processes, cosmetic finishing is achievable in parts built with Multi Jet Fusion: paint, primer, texture matching, smoothing, and more. The average surface finish of Multi Jet Fusion is 3.18–6.35 micrometres RA — surfaces can be hand-sanded or tumbled for an even smoother finish.
