Dyeing
Color result
Black dye finish
Best for
Adding a uniform black finish to Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) parts where functional prototype testing requires consistent color.
Note
Confirm dye penetration, color consistency, and dimensional change on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) before production.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) parts for functional prototype testing.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reducing visible layer lines on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) parts used for functional prototype testing and appearance-critical prototypes.
Note
Confirm material compatibility, feature retention, and dimensional impact on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) before vapor smoothing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black) parts used for functional prototype testing and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on Nylon 6 Glass-filled (Black); abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.
