| According to two leading 3D printing services this week, the brass is pretty.  At i.materialise, brass is one of the most popular metallic 3D printing materials, and due to popular demand, the company decided to offer a new option to make it more cost-effective. To date, i.materialise has provided its brass parts Different finishes: natural PU coating, gold-plated gold, gold-plated red gold, rhodium-plated polish, chrome finish, and black electroplated polishing agent The original components have not been provided so far, but customers can now opt to order untreated Brass or basic brass. Untreated brass does not have a polishing agent for it, but there are several attractive factors. It offers a nice retro look as it oxidizes over time, but i.materialise cautions that if you To prevent your artwork from getting green or black over time, you should polish it, because the details are sharpened, even though the print lines are the same, which is also the most affordable option, so for early This is a good budget for academics or manufacturers, no matter which one you choose, brass is a good choice if you do not want to spend too much money. 'Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and is a versatile material known for its good level of detail,' explains i.materialise. 'Brass is usually better used for jewelry, smaller sculptures and miniature models. The price has the luster of gold! At the same time, Sculpteo is offering several new coatings for its brass materials.Sculpteo's brass, made of 82% copper and 18% zinc, is often used to make jewelry or decorative items. Sculpteo says: 'Our brass model prolongs the contact time of the skin without damaging the skin. The final brass product is durable but can be scratched and color-changed when exposed to the air. The situation is due to the oxidation of brass in the air, especially in humid environments, fortunately, the effects of oxidation can be avoided by using our new electroplating options: rhodium white, rhodium black, gold plated and pink gold plated. So far, Sculpteo has offered two options for the surface treatment of brass pieces: Raw Finish, which is essentially untreated i.materialise brass and brass parts that have been post-treated and polished for shiny appearance. Now you can get your brass blocks with four new plating options: White rhodium, one of the electroplating processes covered with white rhodium, has a silvery appearance; Black rhodium, which gives the appearance of a shiny dark gray object; Gold-plated, in which the thin layer of gold deposited on the surface of the object; Pink gold plating, the same process as gold plating, with pink gold appearance; Each plating option protects your brass parts from oxidation. With these new options, Sculpteo and i.materialise now offer a wider selection of brass items, so no matter which service you choose, there are many options when ordering 3D printed brass jewelery or other products.
