Selective Laser Melting (SLM) delivers unmatched precision, transforming metallic powders into high-density, complex parts with superior mechanical properties. Unlock the potential of advanced manufacturing with cutting-edge SLM technology.
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an advanced 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse metallic powders into solid, fully dense parts, layer by layer. This process is ideal for creating intricate, high-performance components with excellent mechanical properties. SLM is widely applied in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical, offering a groundbreaking approach to manufacturing complex metal parts with exceptional precision and efficiency.
At XC Machining, we harness the power of Selective Laser Melting 3D printing to deliver custom, high-quality metal components that meet the demands of modern engineering challenges.

We offer a range of surface treatments and custom finishes on solid metal and plastic parts, including anodizing, spray painting, vapor polishing, sandblasting, silk screening, etc.
Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.
Black oxide coating is a popular choice for enhancing the surface of steel and iron. This finish not only provides a visually appealing dark surface, but also offers excellent wear resistance. Additionally, the black oxide coating can enhance the lubricity and durability of the treated surface, making it an ideal option for various applications.
Passivation is a common process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing iron impurities and forming a protective oxide layer. This helps to improve the durability and performance of stainless steel in tough environments.
Paint serves as a surface coating that is effective on a wide range of materials, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection against corrosion. It is available in numerous color options, making it suitable for application on metals, polymers, wood, and various other substrates.
Enhance the shine and smoothness of your materials by utilizing polishing techniques. By using abrasives such as buffing wheels or polishing chemicals, you can elevate the reflectivity and overall aesthetic of metals, resulting in a stunning mirror-like finish.
Alodine coating, also known as chromate conversion coating, is widely used on metals like aluminum. It serves as an excellent primer for paint or powder coatings, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. By creating a thin layer of protection, it enhances the bond between subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting results.
