As machined finish leaves the surface straight from the CNC machine, providing a cost-effective option with tool marks.


Polishing achieves a high gloss finish, reducing surface roughness and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of metals.

Sand blasting uses pressurized sand or other media to clean and texture the surface, creating a uniform, matte finish.

Tumbling smooths and polishes small parts by friction and abrasion in a barrel, offering a consistent but slightly textured finish.

Electropolish is a chemical process that smooths and brightens surfaces while improving corrosion resistance.


Alodine coating provides corrosion protection and improves paint adhesion, mainly used on aluminum surfaces.

A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.

Powder coating applies a thick, wear-resistant layer with excellent color and texture options, suitable for a variety of surfaces.
