3Q International Water-Based 3D Coating: Unlock New Color Possibilities, Empowering Full-Scenario Upgrades in 3D Printing
As 3D printing technology spreads rapidly across footwear, sports equipment, toy models, home décor, and soft furnishings—from customized basketballs to personalized shoes, from intricate figurines to comfortable cushions and pillows—personalization and diversification have become core market demands. Yet these trends have long been constrained by industry pain points: high costs of colored printing materials, limited color options, and poor color reproduction. The monotonous base colors of standard 3D-printed parts make it difficult for creative designs to come to life, robbing products of their visual appeal and ability to captivate consumers.
The emergence of 3Q International’s water-based 3D coating breaks this color barrier. With customizable color mixing, high-saturation hues, ultra-durable performance, and refined texture, it delivers a high-value color solution for the 3D printing industry—enabling every 3D-printed piece to shine with exceptional brilliance.
Within the 3D printing production chain, the high R&D and manufacturing barriers of colored printing materials directly lead to premium pricing. Large-scale adoption significantly increases enterprise production costs. Meanwhile, existing colored materials on the market offer limited color gamuts, failing to meet the diverse needs of personalized design. Some materials suffer from dull color expression and low color fidelity, stripping meticulously designed products of their original visual impact.
3Q International’s water-based 3D coating addresses these challenges at their root. Built on a palette of 21 base colors, it supports full-gamut, custom color formulation. Whether vibrant reds and yellows, low-saturation Morandi tones, trendy color-blocking, or gradient effects, it precisely matches design intent—freeing 3D-printed products from color limitations. There’s no need to procure expensive colored printing materials; simply apply post-print spraying to standard base-color 3D prints to achieve rich, vivid color effects. This dramatically reduces production costs, minimizes material waste, and balances economic efficiency with practicality.
Stunning color must be matched with robust performance. 3Q International’s water-based 3D coating understands the real-world application needs of 3D-printed products. Beyond aesthetics, it delivers physical properties far exceeding industry standards. For products like shoes, cushions, and pillows that undergo frequent bending, this coating offers exceptional flexibility—its film withstands over 100,000 bending cycles at room temperature without cracking or peeling. This exceptional film toughness perfectly adapts to everyday bending scenarios, preserving both user experience and lasting color vibrancy. Even for high-friction, high-impact sports equipment like basketballs, the coating adheres firmly to the substrate, resisting wear and scratches to keep colors looking fresh and new.
Notably, 3Q International’s water-based 3D coating imparts a smooth, silky, skin-like tactile sensation to 3D-printed products. Its excellent leveling properties ensure a flawlessly smooth and even surface after spraying, effectively concealing the fine layer lines typical of 3D prints and eliminating rough textures. When fingertips glide over a 3D-printed shoe upper, toy surface, or cushion cover, the refined skin-like feel significantly elevates the product’s perceived quality and premium feel—capturing consumer hearts through both visual and tactile appeal. Whether meeting the skin-friendly needs of children’s toys, the texture demands of home décor, or the experiential expectations of trendy footwear, this coating delivers perfectly, enhancing product value and differentiation.
From personalized color customization in fashion footwear to vibrant character creation in children’s toys, from refined texture presentation in industrial prototypes to comfort-driven aesthetic upgrades in home cushions, 3Q International’s water-based 3D coating covers the entire spectrum of 3D printing applications. Based on an eco-friendly water-based formula, it produces no pungent odors during application, ensuring both production safety and environmental friendliness. Its simple, user-friendly spraying process adapts seamlessly to both mass and small-batch production, meeting the diverse manufacturing needs of different enterprises.
In today’s rapidly evolving 3D printing landscape, 3Q International’s water-based 3D coating is more than just a paint product—it is a powerful enabler of color transformation in the industry. It liberates creative design from color constraints, frees enterprises from cost burdens, and empowers 3D-printed products to enter the market in more vibrant, higher-quality, and diverse forms.
Looking ahead, 3Q International will continue to deepen its research in coating technology, developing products that better align with the evolving needs of the 3D printing industry. We aim to help the industry overcome development bottlenecks, ensuring that every 3D printing idea can become a truly high-quality product—enhanced by superior color and texture.
