About Project

At FacFox, we believe post-processing transforms a good print into a stunning showcase piece. These frosted clear 3D prints are the perfect example – starting from high-resolution SLA clear resin prints, then meticulously polished, sand-blasted, and dyed into vibrant jewel-like tones.

🔹 Frosted Elegance – Sand-blasting creates a soft matte finish that diffuses light beautifully, turning transparency into a frosted glass effect.🔹 Rich Color Gradients – Transparent dyes add depth, vibrancy, and even smooth transitions between hues for a premium artistic touch.🔹 Premium Feel – The surface is silky and uniform, elevating prototypes, collectibles, and display models far beyond raw prints.🔹 Versatile Applications – Perfect for art toys, luxury packaging prototypes, architectural elements, and decorative designs.

Whether you’re designing a prototype that needs to impress investors, or a limited-edition art toy that must look flawless, FacFox’s frosted clear finishing brings clarity, color, and class to your 3D prints.

Solution

  • Step 1: Model Preparation. The 3D model was prepared and oriented in slicing software for SLA printing. Supports were added to ensure dimensional stability.
  • Step 2: Printing. The parts were printed with clear resin using SLA technology, ensuring fine resolution and smooth surfaces.
  • Step 3: Support Removal. The printed parts were cleaned and the supports were carefully removed to avoid surface damage.
  • Step 4: Polishing. The surfaces were polished to eliminate visible layer lines and to restore clarity in the resin.
  • Step 5: Sand-blasting. A fine abrasive blasting process was applied, giving the prints a uniform frosted finish and diffused translucency.
  • Step 6: Dyeing. The frosted prints were immersed in transparent dyes, creating vibrant colors and smooth gradient effects.
  • Step 7: Final Inspection. Each piece was inspected to ensure the surface quality, color consistency, and overall aesthetic met the required standards.
