When it comes to additive manufacturing, achieving vibrant and long-lasting colors on 3D-printed parts has always been a challenge. However, with the advent of DyeMansion’s DeepDye Coloring (DDC) technology, a new era of coloring possibilities has emerged. In this article, we explore the fascinating world of DeepDye coloring, its benefits, and the game-changing impact it brings to the field of Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing.
The science behind DeepDye coloring
DyeMansion’s DM60 is an industrial post-processing system designed specifically for DeepDye Coloring. Unlike traditional coloring methods like spray painting or pot dyeing, DDC technology harnesses the power of pressure and heat to infiltrate color pigments deep into the pores of the MJF parts’ surface. This innovative approach ensures that the color is evenly distributed and reaches even the most intricate areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Reproducible pigmentation at scale
One of the key advantages of DyeMansion’s DM60 system is its ability to provide reproducible pigmentation on a large scale. With its fully automated process, it eliminates the variability often associated with manual coloring techniques. Every part that undergoes the DeepDye coloring process comes out with consistent and reliable color results, regardless of the production volume. This level of precision and uniformity is particularly important for MJF series manufacturing, where maintaining color consistency across multiple parts is crucial.
Ideal for polyamide and lubrizol ESTANE® 3D TPU M95A
DyeMansion’s DeepDye Coloring technology is optimized for use with specific materials, including polyamide (nylon) and Lubrizol ESTANE® 3D TPU M95A and M88A. These materials are commonly used in MJF printing and offer excellent mechanical properties and durability. By combining the advantages of MJF with the vibrant and durable colors achieved through DeepDye Coloring, manufacturers can create end-use parts and products that are not only functional but visually stunning as well.
Expanding the design possibilities
DeepDye Coloring opens up a world of design possibilities for MJF parts. With a wide range of available colors, manufacturers can unleash their creativity and bring their designs to life in vibrant hues. This technology enables the production of colorful prototypes, customized products, and even intricate artistic creations. From consumer goods and automotive components to fashion accessories and architectural models, DeepDye Coloring adds a new dimension to the aesthetics of 3D-printed parts.
DeepDye Coloring
DeepDye Coloring powered by DyeMansion’s DM60 system revolutionizes the way we color Multi Jet Fusion parts. By infiltrating pigments into the pores of the surface, it delivers vibrant, reproducible, and long-lasting colors that enhance the visual appeal of MJF parts. With its automated process, it ensures consistency and scalability, making it ideal for series manufacturing. As DeepDye Coloring continues to evolve, we can expect even more exciting advancements in color possibilities and applications, further driving the adoption of MJF technology in various industries. The future of vibrant and colorful 3D-printed parts is now within reach.
