We can create a smooth CNC part via smooth machining or manual sanding.

| Smooth machining, manual sanding | Metals, plastics | Smooth surface. Machine marks less evident but still visible |
Two of the most common finishes we apply to CNC machined parts at HLH are smooth machined and hand smoothed. These are the basic surface finishes which are applied as standard to both plastic and metal CNC machined parts.
Smooth machining can be applied to the part to reduce its surface roughness. Machine marks are less evident but still visible.
We can smooth smaller batches of cnc parts by hand. Hand sanding leaves behind fewer scratches than a power tool and it is easier to sand contours and tight corners.
