Finishes & TreatmentsComponents ready for final application

From printed component to final component

From printed component to final component

Additive manufacturing processes allow the production of complex geometries and highly performant components. In many cases, however, the final result requires additional post-processing to improve aesthetics, surface precision or functional characteristics.

For this reason SCP offers a range of finishes and treatments designed to enhance the component in line with its final application.

Every process is selected based on material, technology and project requirements.

Post-processes are fundamental in professional additive manufacturing to improve surface roughness, finish and performance of the final component. 

When to choose a finish or treatment

  • Improve surface qualityTo achieve more uniform and controlled surfaces.
  • Optimise performanceWhen the component requires specific functional characteristics.
  • Reduce roughness and imperfectionsFor technical or high-precision components.
  • Prepare the component for final usePrepare the component for its final application.
