Overview of Our Custom Coloring Service

Custom coloring plays a critical role in enhancing both the appearance and functionality of manufactured components across 3D printing, injection molding, CNC machining, and sheet metal fabrication. The process involves advanced techniques tailored to different materials, ensuring high-quality, durable finishes. For plastics, options include in-mold coloring, masterbatch compounding, and post-processing methods such as painting or hydrographics. Metals can be treated with anodizing, powder coating, electroplating, or specialized coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and wear properties. Precision color matching ensures consistency with industry standards, Pantone references, or customer specifications. Rigorous testing is conducted to verify adhesion, durability, and environmental resistance, ensuring long-term performance in demanding applications.

  • Material-Specific Coloring Methods – Optimized processes for plastics, metals, and elastomers

  • Precision Color Matching – Consistency with Pantone, RAL, or custom specifications

  • Durable and Functional Finishes – Enhanced wear resistance, UV stability, and chemical protection
