Surface Finishing for Metal 3D Printing

At Yicen Precision, we provide specialized surface finishing services to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and dimensional accuracy of your metal-printed components.

Heat Treatment

Applies controlled heating and cooling cycles to relieve internal stresses, improve mechanical properties, and stabilize dimensional accuracy after printing.

Shot Peening

 Enhances fatigue strength and surface consistency by bombarding the surface with high-velocity spherical media.

CNC Machining

 Used to refine critical surfaces, tighten tolerances, and improve dimensional precision. Ideal for functional interfaces, sealing surfaces, or high-accuracy features.

As-Printed Finish

 The default surface directly from the printer, with a slightly rough texture. Suitable for internal features, early prototypes, or non-cosmetic applications.

Surface Chemical Etching

 A chemical process used to smooth surfaces, remove contaminants, or selectively reduce roughness without affecting the internal material properties.

Coating (Ceramic or PVD)

 Protective coatings such as ceramic or physical vapor deposition (PVD) enhance wear resistance, reduce friction, and improve surface hardness for demanding applications.

Honing & Grinding

Precise mechanical processes that refine surface finish and achieve tight dimensional tolerances. Often used on critical surfaces such as holes, bores, or sealing faces.

Electropolishing

An electrochemical process that smooths and brightens metal surfaces, reducing roughness and improving corrosion resistance, commonly used for stainless steel components.
