Enhancing Durability and Aesthetics
The Role of Finishes in Custom Part Manufacturing
Finishes are critical components of the manufacturing process, providing both protective and aesthetic enhancements to custom parts. Applied at the final stages of production, finishes improve the product’s appearance, making it more appealing to customers. But the benefits of finishes extend far beyond just good looks. They also play a vital role in enhancing the durability and performance of the parts, making them capable of withstanding harsh environments and prolonged use.
The primary functional benefits of applying finishes to custom parts include:
- Corrosion Resistance: Finishes form a barrier against environmental factors that can lead to corrosion, thus prolonging the lifespan of the part.
- Improved Wear Resistance: Certain finishes increase the surface hardness of the part, making it more resistant to wear and tear from physical contact.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Finishes can be used to add color, gloss, or texture to parts, enhancing their visual appeal and aligning with brand aesthetics.
- Environmental Protection: By protecting the underlying material from harsh conditions, finishes help prevent material degradation and maintain the part’s integrity over time.
Each type of finish brings its own set of advantages, allowing manufacturers to select the one most suited to their specific needs, thereby ensuring that the final product not only meets but exceeds customer expectations.

Powder Coating
This technique applies a dry powder that is cured under heat to create a hard layer. It offers enhanced durability and resistance to wear, making it suitable for metals where robust protection and aesthetics are desired.
Anodizing
An electrochemical process that converts metal into a durable, corrosion-resistant anodic oxide finish, primarily used on aluminum to enhance its natural lustre and increase resistance to wear and weather.
Chrome Plating
Involves electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. This finish is used on steel, copper, and brass for its ultra-shiny, aesthetically pleasing appearance and superb corrosion resistance.
Nickel Plating
This process deposits a layer of nickel onto a metal base, commonly used on steel, brass, and copper. It offers enhanced wear and corrosion resistance and adds a bright, reflective finish to the metal.
Zinc Plating
A popular choice for steel and iron, zinc plating involves applying a thin coating of zinc to the base metal to protect against rust. It’s especially valuable for its galvanic protection, prolonging the life of the metal even if the coating is breached.
Painting
Applying liquid paint and a topcoat to a metal surface for aesthetic purposes and to prevent corrosion. Suitable for virtually all metals, painting provides a cost-effective way to protect and beautify metal surfaces.
Polishing
This process creates a mirror-like finish on metals, enhancing both appearance and corrosion resistance. It’s ideal for decorative purposes and architectural details, providing a protective and attractive surface.
As Machined
This finish leaves parts with visible tool marks post-machining. It’s a basic, cost-effective option that provides functional surfaces without extra treatments, suitable for non-aesthetic , practical applications.
Laser Engraving
A high-powered laser system precisely etches or burns intricate designs onto metal surfaces, ideal for graphics, barcodes, and personalizations. Laser engraving offers a durable, permanent solution.

FAQ
Find answers to common questions about our finishing processes and their benefits in our comprehensive FAQ section.
Powder coating offers excellent durability, impact resistance, and corrosion protection. It also provides a wide range of color options with a uniform finish that is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional liquid paints.
Anodizing enhances the natural oxide layer on aluminum, increasing its corrosion and wear resistance. It also allows for dyeing the metal in various colors, improving both cosmetic and mechanical properties.
Yes, plastics can be plated with metals such as chrome or nickel. This process enhances the aesthetic appeal of plastic parts, making them look metallic and more durable. It also improves wear resistance and electrical conductivity.
Laser engraving uses a high-powered laser beam to etch designs or text into the surface of a metal, creating precise and permanent markings. It is commonly used for serialization, branding, and decorative purposes.
For outdoor metal furniture, finishes that provide excellent UV resistance and weatherproofing are ideal. Powder coating and UV protective paints are highly recommended due to their durability and resistance to fading and weather conditions.
UV coating on plastic parts adds a protective layer that resists sun damage, prolonging the part's lifespan and maintaining its appearance by preventing fading and brittleness.
Pad printing can transfer 2D images onto 3D objects, making it ideal for printing on irregular surfaces like appliances and electronics. Screen printing, however, is better suited for larger, flatter surfaces and allows for thicker ink application, which can be more durable.
