Additive Manufacturing Finishes
When selecting finishes for additive manufacturing, it’s essential to consider several factors. Firstly, consider the intended use of the finished product, as this will determine the required durability and surface finish. Additionally, the chosen material will impact the available finishes, so selecting a material compatible with the desired finish is crucial. Moreover, some standard finishes for additive manufacturing include bead blasting, polishing, painting, and clear coating. It’s also important to consider each finish’s cost and lead time; for instance, more complex finishes generally require more time and resources. Ultimately, the chosen finish should be suitable for the intended use and enhance the product’s value rather than detract from it.

Additive Manufacturing vs. Subtractive and Traditional Manufacturing Methods
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is an innovative technology that constructs parts layer by layer, creating intricate geometries that are challenging or impossible to produce using traditional subtractive manufacturing methods. In contrast, subtractive manufacturing, such as CNC machining, involves the removal of material from a solid block to achieve the desired shape.
Each approach has strengths, and the choice depends on the specific project requirements. These include part complexity, production volume, material properties, and cost. At Prototek, we provide a comprehensive range of manufacturing capabilities, encompassing additive, subtractive, and traditional methods – allowing us to offer the most suitable solution for your unique needs.
