Materials and finishes

The print materials and finishes Womp's print panel offers, and which design rules each one follows.

Use this when: you choose what to print a model in, or need to know how a finish changes the design rules.

Don't use this for: prices or design limits. Read Ordering and Design rules.

Being confirmed. Womp is confirming these points. This page does not state them until they are confirmed:

  • Whether the design rules on these pages apply to full colour prints, which use a different process.
  • Which design rules apply to clear resin with a Matte finish. The rules define clear parts as glossy.

You pick a material and finish in the Print panel, on the Material step.

Standard materials

The print panel lists these under Standard:

USB stick cases printed in Tinted clear. The colour you pick is matched to the nearest Pantone colour and can print lighter than on screen.

  • Finish defaults to Matte.
  • Colour: the Color picker snaps your colour to the nearest Pantone colour. The panel warns: "Printed colors may appear lighter and less saturated than what you see on screen."

Which rules each finish follows

FinishDesign rules
MatteThe matte values on every design rule page
GlossyThe glossy values, plus Glossy and clear
Clear, GlossyEvery glossy rule plus the clear rules (CLA-01). Clear resin is transparent only after polishing or coating
Clear, MattePrints frosted, not transparent. Which rule set applies is being confirmed

Full colour prints use a different print process. The design rules on these pages are written for resin prints and are being confirmed for full colour.

Use instead

  • Wrong move: promising an exact colour match. Why: colours snap to Pantone and print lighter than on screen. Right move: say the colour is matched to the nearest Pantone colour and may look lighter.
  • Wrong move: choosing glossy for parts that move or fit closely. Why: coating eats clearance and fuses gaps (GLS-01, GLS-02). Right move: choose matte, or use the glossy clearances in Fits and clearances.
  • Wrong move: hollow clear prints. Why: hollow clear prints can show internal supports, lose clarity, and need drain holes that change the look. Right move: print clear parts solid, and keep solid clear sections to 10 mm or less, or expect review (CLA-08).
