Available surface finishes for CNC machining

Surface finishes are applied after machining and can change the appearance, surface roughness, hardness and chemical resistance of the produced parts.

Name Description

This is our standard finish.

As machined (Ra 3.2μm / Parts are machined and

Ra 126μin) deburred, sharp edges are

chamfered.

Smooth machining is like an

Smooth machining ‘As machined’ finish but with

(Ra 1.6μm / Ra 63μin) slightly less evident machine

marks. Parts are machined at

a lower feed, no hand polishing

is applied.

Parts are bead blasted with

Bead Blasted glass beads which results in

a grainy texture.

Parts are brushed and then

anodized type II. Ideal for

Brushed + Anodized increasing the corrosion

type II (Glossy) resistance of the part.

Typically results in a glossy

color.

Parts are bead blasted and

anodized type II. Ideal for

increasing the corrosion

Bead blasted + resistance of the part.

Anodized type II (Matte) Results in naturally matte

colors. For glossy colors,

please select the brushed

anodizing option.

Parts are machined and an

anodizing type III coating is

As machined +Anodized directly applied to the

type III (Hardcoat) surface. Ideal to improve

corrosion and wear

resistance of components.

Powder coating is a strong,

wear-resistant finish that is

Powder Coated compatible with all metal

materials.

Parts are brushed and

Brushed + Electropolished electropolished. Ideal to

(Ra 0.8μm / Ra 32μin) reduce the micro-roughness

of the part.

Applicable on steels, black

oxide is a conversion coating

Black oxide used to improve corrosion

resistance and minimize light

reflection.

Parts are machined and a

chromate conversion coating

is applied. Ideal to increase

Chromate conversion the corrosion resistance of

coating the part while maintaining its

conductive properties. RoHS

compliant.

Parts are brushed with a

Brushed (Ra 1.2μm / #400 - 600 grit. Ideal to

Ra 47μin) reduce the surface

roughness of the part.

Parts are manually polished

Polishing (Ra 0.8μm / in multiple directions.

Ra 32μin) Surface is smooth and

slightly reflective.

Other surface finishes are also available. Learn more about our metal and plastic surface finishing capabilities here.
