The final step in our stereolithography process here at FineLine is the finishing of the parts. Finishing of the SL parts includes removal of the support structure used in the build process and a final UV post-cure to ensure that the parts achieve their best mechanical properties. Beyond that, there can be hand sanding for completely smooth surfaces, as well as painting, clearcoating or other techniques to help you achieve the appearance you need for your SL parts.

To select the finish level that will best meet your needs, see our finish level comparator.
