Post Processing
& Finishing
Post processing is an easy way to ensure a uniform appearance from part to part.
The final step in any CNC machining project will be finishing. Some CNC machines, like the CNC mill, may leave visible tool makrs on the piece after production. Tool marks may vary from slight to obvious, depending on the material and CNC process. Post processing is available for plastic and metal parts. This can include bead blasting to remove tool marks, or painting to achieve a desired color.
