Painting, plating and coating options to match the final product look on SLA, SLS, metal and CNC parts.
Painting, plating and coating options to match the final product look on SLA, SLS, metal and CNC parts.
A raw printed or machined part rarely looks like the product it represents. The right finish closes that gap — for photos, trade shows or user testing.
Common finishing routes
- Spray painting — matched colour, matte or gloss, on resin or nylon.
- Electroplating — chrome or gold look on SLA masters for premium appearance models.
- Anodizing / bead blasting — durable, technical finishes on CNC aluminium.
- Transparent / tinted coating — for lenses and light pipes.
Choosing a finish
Match the finish to the test: a marketing model wants paint and plating; a functional test wants the real production coating. See the full set of surface finishing options, or send a sample brief.
