Delivers a smooth, high-gloss, mirror-like surface. Polishing is often selected for metal parts where aesthetics are critical, such as consumer-facing or decorative applications.
Applies a narrow strip of material to cover exposed edges on routed panels. Improves appearance and protects edges from moisture and impact, commonly used in cabinetry and furniture
A transparent protective layer that seals routed surfaces, enhancing scratch resistance and visual depth. Widely used on wood and composite materials for a natural look.
Adds a protective or decorative film to routed surfaces, improving appearance and surface durability. Often applied to wood panels, signage, and furniture components.
Applies liquid coatings to routed parts for color, protection, and enhanced aesthetics. Commonly used on wood, plastic, and metal components in decorative or protective applications
A manual or machine-assisted process that smooths routed surfaces, removing tool marks and roughness. Ideal for wood, plastic, and composite parts needing a clean, uniform finish.

| Features | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| Radii | Minimum internal radius of 1 mm is recommended for ease of tool movement. Larger radii (up to 3 mm) can improve tool access and reduce stress concentrations. |
| Threads and Tapped Holes | For internal threads, ensure a minimum diameter of 2 mm, with a depth of at least 1.5 times the diameter. For external threads, diameters of M2-M10 are typical for routing applications. |
| Minimum Wall Thickness | Maintain a minimum wall thickness of 2 mm for soft materials and 3 mm for harder materials to ensure stability during routing and avoid breakage. |
| Text | Text engraving should have a minimum character height of 2 mm and a depth of at least 0.5 mm to ensure legibility after routing. Avoid intricate fonts smaller than 1 mm in height. |
| Holes | Minimum hole diameter of 3 mm. For deeper holes, maintain a diameter-to-depth ratio of 1:5 to avoid tool deflection and maintain hole quality. |
