Optimizing your parts aesthetic!

 The Dyed Black finish is one of the most desirable finishes in 3D printing. Here at Streamline- 3D we perfected it! In order to achieve a perfect finish we custom built a dye tank specific for the application, to give us the best finish. Not only that we hired a material scientist to formulate the dye that gives us a consistent color we developed this system to stand out as other service bureaus have been known to give parts that don't really meet color standards.
Other service bureaus lack color uniformity (As seen here)
 Each component of the dying cycle is crucial from the amount of water that goes into the dying tank to the amount of dye being mixed into the water, every step is calculated in order to achieve the perfect finish every time. Once the parts are done dying they get cleaned and rinsed, from there we take them on to our drying cabinet. One of the many benefits is that the price increase from raw grey to black really isn't that big of a difference it's roughly five percent depending on your parts surface area.
 One of the bigger benefits of getting your parts dyed black is that it can really mask minor imperfections, it being scratches or the effect of over blasting getting the parts dyed will cover it. Overall, the Dyed Black finish is just aesthetically pleasing around 70 percent of our customers purchase this finish. There aren't really any negatives we have heard from some other service bureaus that they experience some
difficulty obtaining uniformity of color throughout the part. Which we figured out that it's based on the density of the part in order to compensate for this we developed the dye system to give us the best consistent color.
