Laser Cutting Finishing Options
Bead blasting
Bead blasting
Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Anodising (type II)
Anodising (type II)
Type II anodise provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Hardcoat anodising (type III)
Hardcoat anodising (type III)
Type III hardcoat anodise produces a thicker layer of standard anodising, making it more durable and wear-resistant. Can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Powder coating
Powder coating
Provides a continuous, protective colour finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.
Media tumbling
Media tumbling
Tumbling vibrating media to remove sharp edges and burrs on machined parts.
Electropolishing
Electropolishing
An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter.
Passivation
Passivation
A colorless coating that improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels by removing free iron from the surface.
Electroless nickel plating
Electroless nickel plating
Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces.
Chromate conversion
Chromate conversion
Chromate conversion coatings, also known as chem-film, enhance corrosion resistance and conductivity properties and can be used as a base for paint. Type I chromate conversion caused the coating to appear gold or brown in color typically
Zinc coating / Galvanising
Zinc coating / Galvanising
Zinc plating involves the electrodeposition of a thin coating of zinc metal onto the surface of another metal object, known as a substrate. The zinc coating creates a physical barrier that prevents rust from reaching the underlying metal surface.
Gold plating
Gold plating
Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.
Silver plating
Silver plating
Electroplating silver provides good corrosion resistance but easily tarnishes. Silver offers high solderability and electrical conductivity.
Black oxide
Black oxide
Black oxide is a type of conversion coating for ferrous materials, such as steel and stainless steel, which blackens the top layer of the material. It can be used to reduce reflection and glare, as well as provide some additional corrosion resistance without affecting part dimensions.
Annealing
Annealing
The annealing process involves the heating of a metal to or near the temperature at which recrystallisation begins without change in the stresses. After heating, the metal is cooled to room temperature in the oven or put in the sand.
Case-hardening (Carburising)
Case-hardening (Carburising)
A heat treatment process which includes hardening the surface of metal while allowing the metal underneath to remain soft. As the name implies, carburising is inducting carbon or nitrogen into low-carbon alloys at elevated temperatures so that the hardenability increases.
Tempering
Tempering
A heat treatment method that is mainly dedicated to reducing the amount of hardness of metals. It involves heating the metal to a temperature below the critical point. The temperature is adjusted depending on the amount of hardness that needs to be reduced and it varies depending on the metal type as well.
Through hardening
Through hardening
Through hardening, also known as quench hardening, is a heat treatment process used to increase the hardness and strength of a material by heating it to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it, usually by immersing it in a quenching medium such as oil, water, or air.
Custom
Custom
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually 1-2 business days.

Overview: What is Laser Cutting?
The Basics Of Laser Cutting
CNC laser cutting is a computer-controlled fabrication process that uses high-density light beam to cut parts out of a sheet metal workpiece. The process is controlled by a computer that is guided by pre-uploaded 2D-models. This fabrication process is known for its cost-efficiency and high precision.
Laser Cutters
- CO2 lasers are normally used for the standard production purposes (e.g. for cutting thinner metals)
- Nd and Nd:Yag are more powerful and used to cut thicker sheet metal, but are more expensive in use than CO2 lasers
Tolerances
A standard tolerance level for the majority of CNC laser cutters ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 mm depending on the size and requirements. But tolerance levels may be adjusted to our customer’s requirements.
Size Limitations
Any size, maximal thickness of sheet steel up to 30 mm, and up to 25 mm for aluminium.
