There are many post-processing processes for 3D printed parts. Such as painting, plating, water transfer printing, vacuum coating, etc.. Among them, vacuum coating, the production process is very complicated, many customers do not quite understand, let Wonder Tech to give you an introduction.
Physical 3D Scanning Data Processing
Prerequisite Review: Dancer Sculpture 3D Scanning
Following the last dancer sculpture scan, we obtained the physical 3D data of the dancer sculpture, processed it and then carried out light-curing 3D printing to obtain a reduced size of the physical dancer sculpture. Customers interested in 3D scanning can click the link above to learn more about the sculpture 3D scanning process.
Disassembled 3D Printing And Bonding
The printed parts of the dancer sculpture are assembled and glued together to form the whole object.
Fine Sanding Of The Lamellar Lines For The Base Colour Spray Paint
The surface of the sculpture is sanded and primed for the next step: vacuum coating.
UV Oiling To Check The Grain Repair
UV oiling of the physical surface of the sculpture makes the sculpture surface covered with a layer of varnish, which is waterproof, scratch resistant and high gloss.
Temperature Monitoring Vacuum Coating
Using a vacuum coating machine to coat the sculpture in kind, the thickness of the coated surface of the sculpture is adjusted by a light control system, while a temperature control system is used to repeatedly adjust the temperature several times to prevent the sculpture from becoming too hot, finally completing the vacuum coating of the sculpture, let’s see the effect.
3D scanning technology is able to measure the external surface of a large sculpture in a very short time, preserving the full dimensional data and appearance of the sculpture, and has many applications in sculpture reproduction. Vacuum coating technology can coat the outer surface of a sculpture to give a very good stainless steel shine.

Dimensional Accuracy In 3D Printing
The dimensional accuracy refers to how accurate the size and form of the printed part are compared to that in the CAD design. Factors that affect dimensional accuracy include material quality, equipment, post-processing, and more. Dimensional tolerance, shrinkage, and support requirements are three key elements to measuring dimensional accuracy. Below are the dimensional tolerance of different 3D processes.
| FDM dimensional tolerance | prototyping (desktop):±0.5% (lower limit:±0.5 mm), industrial:±0.15% (lower limit:±0.2 mm) |
| SLA dimensional tolerance | prototyping (desktop):±0.5% (lower limit:±0.10 mm) industrial:±0.15% (lower limit:±0.01 mm) |
| SLS/MJF dimensional tolerance | ±0.3% (lower limit:±0.3 mm) |
Layer Height In 3D Printing
Layer height is a measurement of the amount of material extruded by the printer’s nozzle for each layer of your part. It is measured in microns or millimeters. The selection of layer height is important for some 3D printing technologies, such as SLA and FDM. Below are the typically applied layer height for different processes.
- – FDM: 50 – 400 μm
- – SLA: 25 – 100 μm
- – SLS: 80 – 120 μm
- – MJF: 80 μm
- – DMLS/SLM: 30 – 50 μm
3D printing and prototyping have advanced development in recent years. With these improvements, metal 3D printing has become a possibility. Metal 3D printing is used in a variety of sectors. Companies that use metal 3D printing are discovering that 3D printing complicated metal parts in low quantities is considerably more cost-effective than traditional methods of production. Metal 3D printed items are cheaper and have a wider range of material alternatives. Aluminum is a popular metal for 3D printing since it is both sturdy and lightweight. Steel is another extensively used material that is perfect for industrial applications due to its strength, good polish, and temperature tolerance. Metal 3D printing is utilized in a wide range of sectors for a variety of purposes. Functional prototypes, end-use parts, Jigs, tooling, and fixtures are some of the applications.
