What Can 3D-Tiger's Finishing Services Do For You?

Whether in metal or plastic, from a one-off prototype to full mass production, we have everything you need to take your project that final step to perfection. We don’t just make parts. We make them better by applying a variety of treatments to improve their appearance, performance and durability. Learn more about our major finishing services.

Anodizing

Anodizing helps to resist corrosion, increase surface hardness, improve resistance to wear and dissipate heat. It’s also an ideal surface treatment for painting and priming, and it looks great too. We normally use Type II anodizing, which allows us to add tints or dyes to your parts to enhance their looks. Type III is also available for surfaces that need to be extra hard.

Painting

A great paint job is one of the best ways to make your product stand out from the crowd. We can replicate virtually any color, tint or hue in our climate-controlled, automated spray room. Our master painters can supply millions of colors, in matte, flat, semi-gloss or glossy finishes.

Sanding And Polishing

Sanding is not just used for painting preparation but also to create the final surface effect. We can provide brushed and satin surfaces on metal, and we make optically clear polishes on transparent plastic. Hand sanding is also a very important part of delivering the finish products.

Blasting

Blasting means to spray some type of abrasive media onto the workpiece. Examples of abrasives include sand, garnet, walnut shells, or high-pressure water. It’s used to clean and de-burr parts, while preparing them both mechanically and chemically for later surface finishes. Blasting also imparts unique textures, frosting, pebbling, etc. Contact us learn more about other popular methods for finishing a metal surface.
