3D Printing Post Processing Services
Make your prototypes functional and look realistic with professional finishes
Cleaning & Support Removal
Are you spending too much time and effort on the support material removal stage of your 3D printing process?
Our Post Processing Part Cleaning Service will reduce your cycle time for removing support material and eliminate your manual post-printing ‘bottleneck’.
Smoothing & Texturing
Do you require a smooth surface finish for your 3D printed part? Does your part need to be made watertight? Or a specific type of texture required?
Our surface finishing service will ensure that you obtain the desired Roughness Average (Ra) and type of finish, while keeping the fine-feature detail of your 3D printed part intact.
Presentation Finishing
Is your 3D printed part going to be used for sales and marketing? Does your prototype need to look realistic?
Our presentation finishing service can apply a variety of different surface finishes to your 3D printed part to make it look sales ready, including sealing, tempering, sanding, polishing, painting and electroplating.
Post Processing is as easy as 1-2-3
Using advanced equipment and techniques we can provide the surface finish you require for your plastic or metal 3D printed part
1 Send Us Your Part
Ship your metal or plastic 3D printed part to us or drop it off at one of our 9 office locations across Canada.
Alternatively we can 3D Print Your Part through our 3D Printing Service.
2 Part is Post Processed
Your 3D printed part will be processed using one of our Automated Post Processing machines to provide you with the desired texture and end product surface roughness average (Ra).
3 Part Finishing
We will then apply the surface finishing required for your metal or plastic part, whether it needs to be sealed and made watertight, painted, or polished.
Then we return your finished part.

Post Processing Applications
Here are typical reasons why customers use our services
Improve 3D Printed Surface Finish
We can reduce the labor involved in obtaining the level of smoothness required from your 3D printed part and speed up your 3D printing process.
It is virtually impossible to achieve uniformity on every part with manual finishing. Our automated surface finishing service ensures that every part is identical, every time — to your specification with the precise Ra required.
Making prototypes look real
In the world of sales and marketing delivering presentations with a physical model will allow your potential customers to easily understand what you are selling and how it will be used.
Our 3D printing finishing service allows you to expand on what your 3D printed part can do by sealing, polishing and painting your models.
Finishing 3D Printed Molds
We can provide solvent smoothing to Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts to make them mold ready. Solvent smoothing utilizes a chemical agent to smooth a part’s surface eliminating layer lines while preserving feature detail and part accuracy. Ideal for mold applications such as injection molding, silicone molding, sand casting, investment casting, and thermoforming.
