Our 3D printing finishes range from a basic finish all the way through to specialist hand-finishing or plating parts with gold.
– Basic Finish
Parts are cleaned and any support material is removed. Build layer lines will still be visible.
– Cosmetic Finish
Parts are cleaned then bead-blasted to give a more uniform surface appearance and mask build layer lines.
– Deluxe Finish
For clients demanding the very highest level of surface finish and appearance of SLS parts, we have developed this unique finish option for a smooth and uniform appearance.
– Sanded Finish
Parts are cleaned and sanded smooth by hand to remove build layer lines where required.
– Painted
Parts are given a Sanded Finish then primed or painted to your specifications.
– Clear – Lacquered
Parts made of Clear ABS-like SLA are sanded and then lacquered to give a clearer transparent appearance.
– Clear – Polished
Parts made of Clear ABS-like SLA can be further sanded and then polished to a glass-like finish and provide higher optical clarity.
– Sealed
Parts made of certain materials can be sealed to make them water or solvent resistant and improve the surface finish.
– Metal Plated
To add significant surface hardness and stiffness, and give the appearance of a solid metal part, components made using Ceramic SLA can be thinly coated in gold, silver or nickel.
