3 colors

Smooth and detailed surface finish.

Deburred, Glass Blasted & Vapor Smoothed

3 colors

This finish is removing all imperfections, polishes the part completely and adds a smooth, polished surface finish.

Deburred & Glass Blasted

3 colors

Smooth, matte surface with a subtle texture, creating a sleek, non-reflective appearance that is visually appealing.

Vapor Smoothed

3 colors

Vapor smoothing uses a vaporized solvent to partially melt and blend the outer layer of a 3D print, significantly reducing visible layer lines to create a more uniform, sealed finish.
