As-machined
Parts are de-powdered with a sandblasting process and manual powder removal. The standard finish is matte with a sugar cube-like texture.
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.
Ideal as a preliminary surface finish treatment for painting and dying. Bead blasting before anodising is also an ideal surface preparation, creating a non-reflective surface.
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 thickness
- Anodised colours cannot be matched to specific Pantone or RAL colours
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.
Chromate conversion
Chromate conversion coatings, also known as chem-film, enhance corrosion resistance and conductivity properties and can be used as a base for paint. Type I chromate conversion caused the coating to appear gold or brown in color typically
- Type I chromate conversion caused the coating to appear gold or brown in color typically
- Type II chromate coating will appear clear and does not affect surface colouration
Electropolishing
An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter.
Gold plating
Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.
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.
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.
Spray painting
Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.
- Paint coating is just on the surface level, if it is scratched or subjected to wear and tear, the internal natural colour is visible
- Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)
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.”
