Cosmetic Finishes

For parts that look as good as they perform. We're dedicated to ensuring the surface finishes of your parts meet your cosmetic requirements and we therefore require extra measures to guarantee optimal quality and results.

What is a cosmetic finish?

When adding a surface finish to your part, you choose whether the finish has a merely functional purpose or whether it should also serve an aesthetic purpose.

Parts that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes are deemed cosmetic.

The production of cosmetic parts require extra measures to minimize defects such as hang marks, light scratches and other minor imperfections.

For all of our available finishes, we have categorized them by their cosmetic availability:

What differences are there between cosmetic and non-cosmetic finishes?

• Cosmetic finishes will follow our Cosmetic Acceptability Criteria
  
• Parts will have guaranteed consistency across the batch
  
• Batch will be inspected as per AQL level II
  
• Around +10% price increase
  

Defining an A and a B side

The processes of applying surface finishes will unavoidably incur some defects such as hang marks, for instance. However, these can be focussed to a certain surface or area of your part to allow the rest of your part to be defect free.

This can be achieved by defining an A-side and a B-side in the technical drawing of your part:

A side: Indicates the most aesthetically important surface, typically the visible side of your product.

B side: Indicates the side that is not aesthetically important, typically the side hidden from visibility after assembly.

Surfaces declared as the A-side will be defect free while B-side surfaces will have a slightly more tolerating acceptability criteria:

Cosmetic Acceptability Criteria

For all cosmetic parts produced by our manufacturing partners, we have devised an acceptability criteria that will be followed:

Consistency requirements

Each part must be visually consistent across the same batch meaning:

• Same grit must be used across parts for sanding or brushing
  
• Brush marks must be in the same direction**
  
• Color must be consistent to the same pantone when parts are placed next to each other
  
• Gloss units must be consistent across the batch
  
  

** Manual brushing marks will be as unidirectional as possible. Please note that for rounded geometries, brushing marks may not be entirely unidirectional.
