Glow In The Dark 3D Printed Parts

Glow in the dark 3D Printed parts can be very useful for applications like:

These glow in the dark applications enhance visibility and safety while also providing decorative and functional benefits in various settings.

In the past glow in the dark 3D printed parts were made using FDM machines running a glow in the dark filament, and while they technically do glow, it is not very bright and did not last more then a few seconds after the light source was turned off. Here is an example of a knob made using this process:

At Forerunner 3D Printing we have a workflow that allows us to add glow in the dark properties to Cerakote that can then be applied to 3D printed parts. This method produces parts that glow brightly and for extended periods of time after the light source is removed. It also benefits from the durability and wear resistance of Cerakote. Here is a gallery of example parts we have applied this process to.
