Industrial 3D Printing Finishing Services
To transform a 3D printed part into a high-performance industrial component – whether a one-off functional prototype or a part bound for low volume production – it must undergo a specialized finishing “stack” tailored to its end-use environment. Many of our customers move from prototype to full production parts in just a few days, with full quality assurance at every step.
By combining our massive European production capacity with advanced surface science — including vapor smoothing, vibratory finishing, and precision hardware integration — we move beyond simple prototyping into custom finishing and smooth surface finishes that complements every stage of custom manufacturing. Because post-processing is the stage where surface finish is truly defined, we treat it as a core engineering discpline rather than an afterthought.
We provide a localized gateway to complex, ready-to-use components, ensuring that your product meets the rigorous standards of your industry – from functional prototypes through to serial parts produced with Selective Laser Sintering, Multi Jet Fusion, and other additive manufacturing technologies. As a contract manufacturing partner, we also bridge into adjacent processes like injection molding when your project scales beyond what 3D printing alone is best suited for.
Featured Post-Processing Services
We don't view post-processing as a final touch, but as a critical engineering phase.
Every application has a unique environment— some require UV stability, others need low-friction surfaces. We analyse the end-use requirements of your project to select the precise post-processing path that optimises both the durability and the functionality of the polymer.
