Surface Finishing Capabilities
Color & Gloss Matching
Control prototype color and gloss levels according to customer references and appearance requirements.
Surface Texture Refinement
Create smooth, matte, polished, or textured surfaces for different prototype appearance requirements.
Logo & Product Marking
Add logos, symbols, graphics, and product markings to create a more complete product appearance.
Production-Like Appearance
Improve the visual quality of prototype parts to better represent the intended appearance of the final product.
Multi-Part Appearance Consistency
Coordinate finishing across multiple prototype components to maintain a consistent overall appearance after assembly.
Cosmetic Prototype Finishing
Support appearance-focused prototypes for design reviews, presentations, exhibitions, and product evaluation.
Why Choose UForProto for Plastic Prototyping Service?
Integrated Prototype Manufacturing
Surface finishing can be completed together with CNC plastic machining, 3D printing, vacuum casting, and prototype assembly.
Consistent Appearance Control
We control color, gloss, texture, markings, and overall appearance according to your prototype requirements.
Multiple Finishing Options
Choose from natural finish, painting, silk screening, UV coating, electroplating, water transfer printing, and other suitable treatments.
Prototype-Level Customization
Finishing can be customized for a single prototype or multiple parts without requiring mass-production quantities.
Surface Preparation Experience
Sanding, polishing, deburring, and surface preparation help create a better foundation for subsequent cosmetic finishing.
Appearance Verification Support
Finished prototypes help product teams evaluate colors, textures, graphics, and overall product appearance before production.
How it works
Simple steps from upload to delivery
1
Submit Your Requirements
Provide your prototype files, material information, color requirements, surface references, and finishing specifications.
2
Surface & Material Review
We review the prototype material, manufacturing process, geometry, and target appearance before finishing.
3
Finishing Process Planning
Suitable preparation and finishing methods are arranged according to the required cosmetic result.
4
Surface Preparation
Parts are deburred, sanded, polished, or refined as required to prepare the surface for finishing.
5
Surface Finishing
Painting, UV coating, electroplating, or other selected finishes are applied according to project requirements.
6
Graphics & Decorative Finishing
Logos, markings, patterns, or decorative effects are added when silk screening or water transfer printing is required.
7
Appearance Inspection
Finished parts are checked for color, surface consistency, markings, and overall cosmetic quality.
8
Assembly & Delivery
Finished parts can be assembled when required, followed by final inspection, packaging, and delivery.
Surface Finishing
We offer 6 surface finish options for your CNC prototypes and full production parts. Our extensive options allow you to match finishes to your parts’ specific requirements and applications.
Natural Finish
Natural finish removes burrs and machining marks while preserving the original color and texture of the raw material, providing a clean and functional surface for engineering prototypes.
Painting
Painting provides smooth cosmetic finishes with customized colors, textures, and surface effects for appearance prototypes and production-like parts.
Electroplating
Electroplating applies a metallic coating to plastic parts, improving appearance, wear resistance, and production-like surface quality.
Silk Screening
Silk screening is used to apply logos, graphics, and functional markings onto prototype surfaces with high clarity and durability.
UV Coating
UV coating enhances surface gloss, scratch resistance, and cosmetic durability while improving the overall appearance of prototype parts.
Water Transfer Printing
Water transfer printing enables complex patterns and decorative textures to be applied to curved and irregular prototype surfaces.
