Value-add finishing services
Raw FDM parts are just the start. Add vapor smoothing, paint, tapping, or bonding to get parts ready to use out of the box.
Vapor Smoothing
ABS, ASA
A solvent vapor pass dissolves surface layer lines, leaving a glossy, sealed finish. Ideal for cosmetic parts, fluid-contact surfaces, and reduced drag.
- Removes visible layer lines
- Seals surface for hygiene
- Minimal dimensional change
Paint Finishing
ABS, ASA, PLA, PETG
Multi-stage sanding, primer, and topcoat with optional color matching and branding for visually critical or customer-facing components.
- Color matching available
- Matte, satin, or gloss
- Branded or logo-ready
Tapping & Thread Inserts
All rigid filaments
Threaded inserts and tapped holes for repeatable assembly and secure fastening without sacrificing print geometry.
- Heat-set brass inserts
- Tapped M3–M8 holes
- Reusable fastener points
Surface Bonding & Fill
PLA, ABS, PETG
Assembly bonding, gap filling, and seam finishing for multi-part builds that need to appear as a single solid part.
- Solvent or epoxy bonding
- Seam filling & sanding
- Post-cure smoothing
