Finishing & Assembly.

Paint, hardware, and assembly, in-house
Customer-facing parts · Hardware integration · Branding

Plenty of parts ship exactly as they come off the printer. When a job calls for more, we take it the rest of the way — sanding, custom color, hardware, labels, and assembly.

How we work

Finishing runs on the same floor as the printers, by the same people who ran the parts. The handoff that usually breaks this kind of job — print shop to paint shop to assembly, each with its own queue — never happens. You receive the finished part.

Paint prep · Visible surfaces

Layer lines sanded out and surfaces readied — for paint, coatings, or a finish spec smoother than the printer leaves.

Customer-facing parts · Brand match

Custom-color paint, branded finishes, and durable coatings — or custom-mixed filament, so the color is in the material. Pantone, RAL, or sample-matched.

Heat-set brass inserts, fasteners, magnets, and bushings — installed here, so a printed thread is never the failure point.

Product branding · Identification

Dome/bubble stickers, screen-printed labels, decals, and engraving — applied as part of the production workflow.

Fill, sand, prime, paint

A part comes off the printer with layer lines, and a part printed in sections comes off with bond lines too. Both come out by hand — filled, block-sanded flat, primed, and painted, one pass at a time — until the finish runs unbroken across the surface, seams included.

Every part has to be held and masked somewhere while it is painted, so tell us which faces are cosmetic and we plan the masking around them.

Printed threads strip.

So we heat-set brass ones into the part instead — a metal thread that survives being undone.
