Read More About Us
XC Machining provides various post-processing options to enhance the surface quality, durability, and aesthetics of 3D printed parts. 3D Printing Processing Surface Finishes
Sanding 01
Sanding removes layer lines from FDM and SLS parts using 120–400 grit abrasives, achieving Ra 1.6–3.2 μm. Prepares surfaces for painting, plating, or assembly. Most cost-effective post-processing method. Painting 04
Spray painting with primer + topcoat on 3D printed parts provides RAL/Pantone color matching, UV protection, and cosmetic finish for consumer product prototypes, trade show models, and functional housings. Polishing 02
Polishing achieves Ra 0.2–0.8 μm gloss finish on SLA resin parts and sanded FDM/SLS parts. Used for visual prototypes, master patterns, and marketing samples requiring presentation-grade surface quality. Vapor Smoothing 05
Vapor smoothing exposes ABS or Nylon SLS parts to chemical solvent vapor that melts surface layer lines, achieving Ra 1–2 μm semi-gloss finish with sealed, watertight surface. Ideal for fluid-handling ducts and cosmetic enclosures. Plating 03
Nickel or chrome electroplating deposits 5–25 μm metal layer on 3D printed ABS or SLA parts after conductive primer application. Provides real-metal surface appearance, EMI shielding, and corrosion protection on plastic printed components. Heat treatment 06
Stress relief and HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) heat treatment for SLM metal parts eliminates residual stress from laser melting, increases density to 99.9%, and improves fatigue life by 30–50%. Required for aerospace and medical metal 3D printed components.
