CNC Machining Surface Finish We Offer

·Standard/As manufactured

· Bead blasting

A surface smoothing operation that involves the direction of fine glass beads at a part’s surface under high pressure. Bead blasting creates a smooth, uniform surface finish on the part.

· Sanding

A surface smoothing and polishing method done with the aid of a sandpaper or sand. The size of the pores in the sandpaper determines the type of smoothness achievable.

· Anodizing

An electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of the part. This can be used for decorative, anti-corrosion or surface hardness treatments. Anodizing is most common with aluminium parts.

· Painting

3D printed parts may be masked and spray-painted to any colour with automotive quality paints after sanding and polishing have been carried out to smoothen the surface.

· Chrome-plating

This involves the deposition of a thin chromium layer onto a metal part through an electroplating process. The chromium layer may serve decorative functions, make the part anti-corrosion or improve the surface hardness. 

Electroplating (such as Nickel plating) is used to improve the strength and durability of metallic parts.

· Electropolishing

An electrochemical process used to remove some material from the finished workpiece in order to reduce surface roughness and enhance the surface finish.

· Brushing

Brushed machined parts have a satin-like, one-direction finish. It is achieved by using a grit belt or wheel, non-woven abrasive belt or pad to produce a polished finish in a metal part.

· Polishing

Used for creating high-quality surface finish in CNC machined parts. Before polishing, parts should be sanded and smoothed to ensure that final surface looks and fees as intended.

· Texturing

Texturing helps to enhance the ergonomics, cosmetics and weather resistance. It is used to give machined parts improved grip, reduce their slipperiness and mimic certain textures.

· Custom

An array of custom finishes are also available for your part depending on material and purpose of the end-use part.
