SLS is known for producing strong, detailed parts that require minimal post-processing. Below are common surface finishes for parts produced with SLS.
Sanding removes excess powder and smooths the surface, improving both appearance and feel, ideal for parts that require post-processing before painting.
Polishing gives SLS parts a smooth, glossy finish, often used for high-visibility parts to enhance their visual appeal and provide a professional look.
Bead blasting uses small abrasive beads to create a matte, textured surface. It’s effective for improving surface consistency.
Plating involves applying a metal layer to SLS parts, improving their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, adding a shiny metallic finish.
Dyeing adds rich, uniform color to SLS parts, allowing vibrant customization while maintaining the material’s natural texture and surface detail.
Vapor smoothing melts the outer layer slightly to reduce roughness, creating a glossy, sealed surface ideal for functional or aesthetic applications.
