Electroplating
Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.
Materials: Aluminum, steel, Stainless Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Smooth, Glossy finish
Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.

Color: N/A
Texture: Glossy
Brushing
Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.
Materials: ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Satin

Sand Casting FAQs
Sand casting is a process where molten metal is cast in a mold made from a sand mixture. Previously, the method was only economical for small-scale manufacturing. However, because of automated machinery for creating sand molds, it can now also be used for high-volume manufacture.
Silica sand is the most commonly used sand because of its great abundance, and, thus, low cost (therein being its greatest advantage). Its disadvantages are high thermal expansion, which can cause casting defects with high melting point metals, and low thermal conductivity, which can lead to unsound casting.
The advantage is low cost in small volumes. Not limited by size. Easy to change part design. The disadvantage is high cost in large production runs. Parts are less complex. Lower dimensional accuracy. Surface finish requires additional work.
Die casting involves using high pressure to inject molten metal into a metal mold, and sand casting involves pouring molten metal into a sand mold. Die casting and sand casting are both reliable processes, but each has its pros and cons.
There’s a wide range of materials that can be used in CNC machining – you can use such as aluminum, steel, brass, copper, titanium, as well as rigid plastics. Reach out to learn more about the types of materials that could be used.
Casting is the process in which metal is heated in a furnace until molten. While in the liquid state, the metal is poured into a die, or mold, to create a component shape. Forging is the process in which thermal and mechanical energy is applied to ingots to cause the alloy to change shape while in a solid state.
