Our Parts Finishing Capabilities
Whether it is CNC machined, urethane cast or 3D printed parts, to gain an accurate appearance of your final product, the prototype must undergo a rigorous post finishing process, which describes the final steps required before a product can be truly brought to life.
SHD provides an integrated parts finishing service to meet your diverse needs. With our experienced in-house skills and advanced facilities, we try our best to ensure the color, texture, gloss, and surface finish of parts and exceed your expectations.
Finishing Services Options: Part I
Anodizing
Anodizing helps to resist corrosion, increase surface hardness, improve resistance to wear. This process serves both functional and cosmetic purposes. There are two main types of anodizing:
Type II anodizing is mainly used to produce parts with a uniform, aesthetically pleasing surface and provides good corrosion and limited wear resistance, and has a wide variety of color dye options. The typical coating thickness: 12-18 μm for black, 8-12 μm for clear, 4-8 μm for color.
Type III anodizing also known as hard anodizing, provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance, suitable for functional applications, but is more limited in color—often clear or black only. The typical thickness 30-125 μm.
Vacuum Metalizing
Vacuum metalizing is a form of physical vapor deposition (PVD), a process of combining metal with a non-metallic substrate through evaporation. Layer thicknesses are typically a few microns and a range of finishes are possible. The most common metal used in vacuum metallization is aluminum for a variety of reasons including cost, thermodynamic, and reflective properties.
