What is MJF 3D printing?

MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) 3D printing services represent a breakthrough in additive manufacturing, offering remarkable speed and precision. This advanced technology uses an inkjet array to apply fusing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which is then solidified by heating elements to create strong, high-resolution parts. Ideal for both prototyping and production, MJF can produce complex geometries with excellent mechanical properties and fine detail, making it perfect for functional components in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods industries. Our MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) services enable rapid turnaround times, consistent quality, and the ability to handle high-volume orders, streamlining the path from design to final product.

Surface finishes for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

We offer finishing services for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), providing a wide range of finishing options to enhance both the durability and appearance of your parts. Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our finishing solutions ensure that your parts meet the highest standards of performance and visual appeal for all needs.

Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.

Black oxide coating is a popular choice for enhancing the surface of steel and iron. This finish not only provides a visually appealing dark surface, but also offers excellent wear resistance. Additionally, the black oxide coating can enhance the lubricity and durability of the treated surface, making it an ideal option for various applications.

Passivation is a common process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing iron impurities and forming a protective oxide layer. This helps to improve the durability and performance of stainless steel in tough environments.

Paint serves as a surface coating that is effective on a wide range of materials, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection against corrosion. It is available in numerous color options, making it suitable for application on metals, polymers, wood, and various other substrates.

Enhance the shine and smoothness of your materials by utilizing polishing techniques. By using abrasives such as buffing wheels or polishing chemicals, you can elevate the reflectivity and overall aesthetic of metals, resulting in a stunning mirror-like finish.

Alodine coating, also known as chromate conversion coating, is widely used on metals like aluminum. It serves as an excellent primer for paint or powder coatings, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. By creating a thin layer of protection, it enhances the bond between subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting results.
