As-machined
This is a finish option with the fastest turnaround. Parts are left with visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request.
Bead blasting
Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Anodising (type II)
Type II anodise provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
- Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface colour
- Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
- Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)
Hardcoat anodising (type III)
Type III hardcoat anodise produces a thicker layer of standard anodising, making it more durable and wear-resistant. Can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Colours tend to come out slightly dark due to the thickness.
Powder coating
Provides a continuous, protective colour finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.
Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders
Electropolishing
An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter.
Passivation
A colorless coating that improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels by removing free iron from the surface.
Electroless nickel plating
Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces.
Gold plating
Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.
Zinc coating / Galvanising
Zinc plating involves the electrodeposition of a thin coating of zinc metal onto the surface of another metal object, known as a substrate.
The zinc coating creates a physical barrier that prevents rust from reaching the underlying metal surface.
Black oxide
Black oxide is a type of conversion coating for ferrous materials, such as steel and stainless steel, which blackens the top layer of the material. It can be used to reduce reflection and glare, as well as provide some additional corrosion resistance without affecting part dimensions.
Annealing
The annealing process involves the heating of a metal to or near the temperature at which recrystallisation begins without change in the stresses. After heating, the metal is cooled to room temperature in the oven or put in the sand.
Case-hardening (Carburising)
A heat treatment process which includes hardening the surface of metal while allowing the metal underneath to remain soft. As the name implies, carburising is inducting carbon or nitrogen into low-carbon alloys at elevated temperatures so that the hardenability increases.
Tempering
A heat treatment method that is mainly dedicated to reducing the amount of hardness of metals. It involves heating the metal to a temperature below the critical point. The temperature is adjusted depending on the amount of hardness that needs to be reduced and it varies depending on the metal type as well.
Through hardening
Through hardening, also known as quench hardening, is a heat treatment process used to increase the hardness and strength of a material by heating it to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it, usually by immersing it in a quenching medium such as oil, water, or air.
Custom
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually 1-2 business days.
Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.

“What amazed me about Xometry is a very empathetic approach, almost ‘micro-business style’, despite being a multinational: the ability to adapt to customer needs, with great responsiveness, and to immediately create a relationship of mutual trust.”
Mario Boaglio, Sferasol
“We very much appreciated the speed of the platform: in zero time, I can get a quote for 1, 10 or 100 pieces, and test how much it might cost to produce with one material over another, which is crucial in the design phase but also to make realistic proposals for our customers.”
Stefano Grigis, Asitech
“Discussions with my Key Account Manager about the gear knob were crucial in finding the best manufacturing process and achieving a result that was as close as possible to a production part. Unlike other companies and suppliers, I actually got to deal with a human contact.”
Stephane Develter, Develter
“With Xometry, it helps that there is an algorithm to instantly provide a price and a binding quote when you upload your part design. I thought that was amazing. Then you just complete your order and get a delivery date, which was met in our case. Wow, what a great process to work with!”
Thomas Kern, Atmos
“Collaborating with Xometry has put us in a strong position to make progress, particularly with mass production. Being able to outsource has significantly reduced our workload and we can still easily maintain quality and meet deadlines.”
Vincent Dufour, Neocean
“Xometry has provided us with great support in the CNC manufacturing of our MCU prototype enclosures, for both very small and medium-sized batches. Xometry’s customer support also ensures the right high-quality parts are delivered to the right location in record times on a very direct and personal basis.”
