Enhance Industrial Parts with Finishes

MakerVerse offers the full range of finishes for all manufacturing technologies.

With these finishes, you can increase dimensional accuracy, improve the surface, and enhance mechanical properties.

Popular Finishes

Standard finish
For all LPBF, SLS, and MJF parts ordered at MakerVerse, we provide a media blasting as part of our standard finish. For LPBF and FDM parts, we additionally include the removal of all support structure materials within our standard finish. For certain metals in LPBF, the standard finish also includes annealing. CNC machined parts come “as machined,” but additional finishes are available.

Anodizing

CNC
This electrochemical process increases the thickness and toughness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Anodizing provides a protective, corrosion-resistant, and decorative finish.

Black oxidizing

CNC
Also known as blackening, this process creates a black oxide coating on the surface of metal parts. Black oxidizing provides a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.

Blasted

LPBF MJF SLS
An abrasive medium is applied to the component under high pressure. By using different media (e.g. corundum, sand or glass beads), both functional (achieving a certain surface roughness) and optical (polishing the surface) finishing can be performed.

CNC machined

LPBF
Advantages of CNC machining are its dimensional stability, low surface roughness and its flexibility for customer-specific requirements. CNC machining requires a drawing for our engineers to assess the work required. Tolerances available upon request.

Color dyed

FDM MJF SLS
In the dyeing process, the plastic component is immersed in a water bath. The resulting chemical reaction causes the dye to penetrate the component. Characteristics of this are, on the one hand, a homogeneous color gradient and, on the other hand, an unchanging but more scratch-resistant surface.

Heat treated

CNC LPBF
The material is heated to a desired temperature. After reaching and remaining at this temperature, the material is cooled back down. For specifications of the heat treatment procedures carried out for each material, visit the corresponding data sheets.

Painted

CNC FDM LPBF MJF SLS
To get the desired output the part is properly prepared through accurate cleaning and by applying a clearcoat. Painting can be particularly useful to enhance the design of your printed part or to facilitate the evaluation of a printed prototype.

Polished

LPBF
Polishing is a finishing process for smoothing a workpiece's surface by using an abrasive. By repeating this process throughout different stages with reduced roughness of the abrasive, you create a smooth and polished surface.

Sanded

FDM MJF SLS
Sanding is performed for smoothing the part and removing any obvious blemishes, such as support marks or blobs using sandpaper. The chosen sandpaper depends on the layer height and print quality desired.

Sealed

FDM MJF SLS
The sealing process is performed with an aqueous solution to close the outer surface or skin of the part and fill in small pores that could be in the part’s surface. The sealing solution is manually applied or through dipping depending on the part’s geometry.

Custom requests

Beyond our default set, additional custom finishes are available upon request. Customers can select the respective fields in the ordering process or contact our support teams directly.
