Surface Finishing Options for 3D Printing
Our superior surface finishes can make your custom 3D printing parts stand out even more. We offer a diverse range of finishing solutions to enhance the surface quality of your parts. These coatings also improve the mechanical strength and durability of your parts.
Glossy
A grade finishes are made using a diamond buffing process and yield shiny and glossy surfaces on 3D printi parts.
Semi-glossy
B grade finishes use grit sandpaper to produce parts with a slightly rougher finish than grade A parts. Custom 3D printing plastic parts that undergo B grade finishing have a matte surface texture.
Matte
C grade finishes use grit sanding stones to produce a rough, uneven surface. 3D printing plastic parts that undergo C grade finishing have a matte surface texture.
Textured
D grade finishes use grit and dry glass beads or oxide to produce a very rough textured finish. Depending on the type of material used, products can have a satin or dull finish.
