Available finishes

Each finish can be combined with the available colors at checkout.

Standard

19 colors

Standard Nylon PA 12 S featuring a smooth surface texture.

Vapor Smoothed

19 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.

Shot Peened

19 colors

Shot peening improves both the aesthetic and functional durability of the models, making them smoother and more resilient.

Polished

19 colors

A smooth, glossy surface achieved through mechanical tumbling, enhancing aesthetics and reducing surface roughness on MJF PA12 parts.

UV Powder Coating

4 colors

A UV-cured powder coating that provides a smooth, durable surface on HP® 3D HR PA 12 S parts, improving wear resistance, UV stability, and visual appearance.

Electroplated

8 colors

Electroplating is a process where a thin layer of metal is applied to plastic surfaces to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
