This was the client's fourth order for the bar since August 2025, each one printed from the client's own file.
How we look after you

We painted one bar first and sent a photo of it against the Pantone 300C swatch. The rest were painted once the client approved it.

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we make a blue bar for a device built by QuantumTX. In September 2026 the client came back for 20 more in a new colour, Pantone 300C, printed from their own STEP file to the same specification as the order before.
Colour sample
Step 2 of 5 · 07/10/2026
We painted one bar in Pantone 300C and photographed it beside the Pantone swatch, so the client could judge the colour before we painted the rest. We also checked the length against the client's file, 285.5 mm, and the client confirmed it. The client approved the colour the same evening.
Printing, sanding and paint
Step 3 of 5
The bars are printed in an ABS-like SLA resin at 0.05 mm layers, hollow with a 2 mm wall. Each bar is sanded smooth, then spray-painted to the approved sample.
Drying, checks and packing
Step 4 of 5 · 16/10/2026
Painted bars stay on the rack until the paint is fully dry, so they can be handled without leaving fingerprints or marks. Then each bar is checked, and the batch is boxed and sealed for delivery.
The final build
Step 5 of 5 · 16/10/2026
We sent 22 bars to QuantumTX's office on 16 October 2026: the 20 ordered and two spares, all in Pantone 300C.
