Painting: The application of a protective coating on CNC machined parts to provide aesthetic appeal, color customization, and added protection against corrosion. It is preferred when parts require specific colors, branding, or a decorative finish.
Pad Printing: A printing technique where ink is transferred from a silicone pad onto CNC machined parts, allowing for detailed and precise graphics, text, or logos to be applied. It is preferred when parts require intricate designs, branding, or labeling.
Sanding and Polishing: The process of smoothing the surface of CNC machined parts through abrasion to achieve a desired finish. It is preferred when parts require a smooth, glossy, or reflective surface for aesthetics, improved functionality, or ease of cleaning.
Vapor Polishing: A process that involves exposing CNC machined parts to vaporized solvents, resulting in the surface being melted and re-solidified, producing a high-gloss finish. It is preferred for transparent or clear parts, such as acrylic or polycarbonate, when a glossy and optically clear finish is desired.
Blasting: The use of abrasive materials, such as sand or glass beads, to remove surface imperfections, burrs, or scale from CNC machined parts, resulting in a uniform texture or a matte finish. It is preferred when parts require a textured appearance, improved adhesion for coatings, or to remove sharp edges or burrs.
