Finishing Options

Name
Colors
Can Be Applied with
A standard finish where the master pattern undergoes minimal processing to achieve a matte or frosted appearance on opaque and translucent materials, as appropriate.
Matte/Frosted
A standard finish where the master pattern undergoes minimal processing to achieve a matte or frosted appearance on opaque and translucent materials, as appropriate.
The master pattern is further processed to smooth the surface, resulting in a semi-gloss finish on the cast parts.
High-Gloss
The master pattern is further processed to smooth the surface, resulting in a semi-gloss finish on the cast parts.
The master pattern is extensively polished to create a very smooth surface, producing glossy or clear parts when cast.
Semi-Gloss
The master pattern is extensively polished to create a very smooth surface, producing glossy or clear parts when cast.
A range of SPI and Mold-Tech mold finishes are available, replicating the surface textures typically found on injection-molded parts.
