In the prototype fabrication that often encounter the requirements to do high-gloss post-processing of prototype products.So what is high glossy technology? In simple terms,Through some processes, the surface of the prototype is more shiny.Whether it is plastic or metal prototype, both can achieve the effect of high glossy, but different materials and the use of different processes, Here is a detailed introduction for you.

   For ABS materials, As long as the polishing can achieve the effect of high glossy effect. This is the natural high glossy that very rarely used.

   For the 3d printing prototype, To achieve the effect of high glossy can only spray light oil, can’t adopt the UV technology, once through the ultraviolet light, easy to produce deformation.

   And other materials of plastic prototype, such as (PC, acrylic, etc.),To achieve a high - gloss effect must first spray light oil, and then adopt the UV varnish.

   The metal prototype achieves a high gloss effect by grinding and then polishing.

     In addition, electroplating, galvanic plating can also achieve the effect of high glossy effect,The principle of electroplating and galvanic plating is basically the same. The surface of the prototype is plated with a layer of alloy to make the surface of the prototype more beautiful. However, galvanic plating is more difficult than electroplating. Before galvanic plating, the prototype should be polished smooth, otherwise there will be many marks on the surface. And the high cost of galvanic plating , Is not cost-effective if the rework.
