ENGINEERED FOR PRECISION & SPEED
Post-processing transforms raw additive components into production-grade end-use parts. We offer specialized mechanical and chemical surface finishing treatments to achieve sealed, non-porous exteriors, uniform matte textures, and deep UV-stable color penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surface Finishing
Engineering specifications, achievable tolerances, and manufacturing workflows for Surface Finishing.
What is the turnaround time for Surface Finishing?
Turnaround for Surface Finishing is post-processing batch schedule. Standard prototype runs typically dispatch within 3 to 5 business days following CAD validation. International express air freight delivers to North America and Europe in an additional 3 to 7 business days.
What manufacturing tolerances does Layerium Labs achieve for Surface Finishing?
Standard achievable tolerances are ±0.2 mm (or ±0.2%) for industrial FDM systems and ±0.05 mm to ±0.1 mm for high-resolution stereolithography (SLA). Critical fit dimensions are verified during our complimentary upfront Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) inspection.
What CAD formats are supported for Surface Finishing?
Layerium Labs accepts standard engineering CAD formats including STEP (.step, .stp), STL (.stl), 3MF (.3mf), and Parasolid (.x_t) files up to 50MB. Native STEP or 3MF formats are recommended to preserve true geometric surfaces and assembly orientation.
How does Layerium Labs protect client intellectual property and CAD designs?
All client CAD geometries, technical drawings, and project specifications are held under strict confidentiality. We execute bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) upon request and store files in private, access-controlled repositories. Your designs are never shared or used for AI model training.
