About Project

We recently printed this full-color elder man head miniature using MJF 3D printing technology, showcasing two different finishes: a raw print and one coated with clear acrylic oil.

On the left, you see the raw MJF print. While it successfully captures the general form, we observe that the color saturation appears somewhat low, and there are noticeable whitish specks or “noise” on the surface. These characteristics do make it a bit challenging to discern finer facial details.

The right side presents the same print, but this time it's been coated with a thin layer of clear acrylic oil. This application has certainly enhanced the vibrancy of the colors and given the surface a smoother, more lustrous appearance. It helps to bring out some of the contours and features more effectively, though the underlying detail limitations from the raw print are still present.

Overall, the MJF full-color printing offers a compelling solution for intricate models, particularly when considering post-processing options like the acrylic oil coat to elevate the aesthetic.

Solution

• Step 1: The 3D model data was prepared.
• Step 2: A thin layer of HP 3D High Reusability CB (coloring agent compatible) material was applied to the print bed.
• Step 3: A fusing agent, a detailing agent, and coloring agents (CMYK) were jetted onto the material in specific areas according to the model’s color information.
• Step 4: An infrared lamp passed over the print bed, selectively fusing the jetted areas and curing the color.
• Step 5: These steps were repeated layer by layer until the miniature was fully formed.
• Step 6: The excess powder was removed from the printed part and was recycled.
• Step 7: The printed miniature was allowed to cool. Step 8: For the finished version, a thin layer of clear acrylic oil was applied.
