Full Colour Textured UV Printing Services

At 3D Printing Ballarat, we offer high-detail full colour textured UV printing for creators, businesses, makers, and hobbyists looking to bring surfaces to life with vibrant colour, realistic texture, and premium finishes.

Unlike traditional flat printing, UV textured printing uses UV-cured inks to build up raised layers directly onto an object’s surface. This allows us to create tactile textures, gloss effects, embossed details, and rich full-colour graphics on a huge range of materials. Modern UV printing can simulate materials like wood grain, leather, brushed metal, and painted textures while maintaining sharp detail and durability.

What Is Full Colour Textured UV Printing?

UV printing combines high-resolution inkjet technology with instantly cured UV inks. The inks are hardened by ultraviolet light during printing, allowing for durable, vibrant prints with exceptional precision. Advanced systems can print layered textures and full CMYK colour directly onto flat or slightly curved objects.

This process is ideal for:

  • Custom signage
  • Product branding
  • Plaques and awards
  • Acrylic artwork
  • Control panels
  • Branded merchandise
  • Phone cases and accessories
  • Cosplay props
  • Miniatures and collectibles
  • Promotional products
  • Custom gaming accessories
  • Industrial labels and panels

We can also apply texture-based artwork and UV mapped graphics to 3D printed parts for highly realistic models and display pieces. UV texture workflows rely on accurate UV mapping and texture placement to achieve clean, professional results.

Raised Texture Effects

One of the biggest advantages of textured UV printing is the ability to physically build surface detail into the print itself.

This can include:

  • Embossed logos
  • Raised lettering
  • Simulated brush strokes
  • Leather textures
  • Wood grain finishes
  • Layered gloss coatings
  • Tactile warning labels
  • Decorative patterns
  • 3D-style surface effects

These textures are created directly during printing without the need for separate engraving or post-processing.

We can print directly onto many materials, including:

  • Acrylic
  • PLA and PETG 3D prints
  • Wood
  • Aluminium
  • Glass
  • PVC

Perfect for 3D Printed Models

Full colour UV texturing works exceptionally well alongside 3D printing services. We can combine FDM or resin printed parts with direct UV graphics and textures to create display-ready products without hand painting.

This is especially useful for:

  • Character models
  • Cosplay props
  • Terrain pieces
  • Architectural models
  • Product prototypes
  • Board game miniatures
  • Collectibles
  • Branded prototypes

Texture-based colour workflows are commonly used to add realistic detail, patterns, and surface finishes to printed parts.
