Hydrographic Print Finishes

The Team at Ultimate 3 D are now offering Hydrographic Print Finishes!

If you have a project that requires a custom finish we now offer hydrographic prints from TWN Industries.

We have taken on the task to learn and implement this discipline into our mix of finishes which include:

Dyeing parts – Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple and fucsia.

Painting parts – most any color available at a quality paint store.

Among the many Hydrographic prints available, Carbon Fiber is the most requested, first we dye the part black, then take the part thru the “dipping” process to adhere the Carbon pattern to the part. Once dry the part is coated with either a Matte Clear or a Gloss Clear, your choice. Our opinion is that the matte clear gives the most Carbon Fiber like look.

Below are a few of the patterns available from TWN Industries.

A Prosthetic Finger with 527-Cork pattern applied.

Pricing will depend and the size of the part and the complexity of the shape. The minimum per part will be $50 and going up from there after evaluating the project.

From our 3D Workshop: Motorbike inventions

As a 3D printing company, we’d be crazy not to bring some of our own designs into reality. As humans, we’re continually encountering challenges in the way we live, work, travel, everything. You might have noticed innovation is one of our core values, and we put it to work devising solutions for all sorts of applications.

A few us frequently ride motorcycles and dirt bikes, and Ultimate 3D co-owner Mike Larkin has designed a variety of products to improve the riding experience. He started with a cell phone holder that can be mounted to the handlebars of a motorcycle, allowing him to record video of the ride or easily snap a photo without digging around for his phone.  This device was printed using SLS then dyed.

Next, Mike created a solution for a dirt bike with a smaller gas tank. The original design is a simple reserve tank that mounts to the front of the bike and extends the fuel capacity by one gallon. Also printed using SLS, Mike mounted this tank to his two-stroke Yamaha YZ 250, which he often rides through the trails and backwoods of Oregon, including Bend, Newport, Pacific City, and beyond. Instead of running out of gas alongside riders who have larger fuel capacity on their bikes, Mike now rides as free as a bird, even ending his runs with extra fuel. A little innovation goes a long way.

What would you make if you could create any product to make your life better? Let us know in the comments!
