From fabricated part to clean finished surface

We take your fabricated part from surface requirement review through finishing preparation, first article inspection, process validation, and final production, with each stage building on the last.

01
Surface Review
Defining the finish

We review the required surface appearance, edge condition, weld areas, part geometry, and finishing requirements before processing. Required changes are identified to achieve a consistent and suitable finish.

Ideal ForEnclosures, equipment, medical parts, consumer products

Aluminium

Lightweight and finishable

Can be ground, brushed, polished, or prepared for additional coatings depending on the required appearance and application.

Ideal ForPanels, enclosures, electronics, automotive parts

Mild Steel

General-purpose finishing

Can be deburred, ground, smoothed, and prepared for painting, powder coating, or other protective finishes.

Ideal ForFrames, brackets, machine parts, enclosures

Brass & Copper

Decorative and conductive metals

Can be mechanically finished to improve surface appearance, remove imperfections, and prepare components for final use.

Ideal ForHardware, fittings, electrical parts, decorative components

What grinding & polishing delivers

Grinding and polishing improve edge quality, surface appearance, and part cleanliness while preparing fabricated components for final use or additional finishing.

01

Application Dependent

Surface Control

Grinding and polishing can improve surface uniformity, remove imperfections, and achieve the required appearance.

02

Multiple

Finish Options

Processes can produce deburred, brushed, satin, smooth, or polished surface conditions depending on the application.

03

High

Finish Consistency

Controlled abrasives, process parameters, and finishing procedures help maintain consistent results across production parts.

04

Complex

Part Access

Finishing can be applied to edges, flat surfaces, welded areas, corners, and accessible features on fabricated components.

05

Low to Medium

Production Volumes

Grinding and polishing can support prototypes, custom parts, low-volume orders, and repeat production.

06

Low to Medium

Secondary Process

Finishing can be integrated after cutting, bending, or welding to prepare parts for coating, assembly, or final delivery.

Typical values shown are general industry guidelines. Actual results may vary depending on material, initial surface condition, part geometry, abrasive selection, required finish, and process conditions.

Every finish has a purpose.

Grinding and polishing can produce functional and decorative surface conditions, from edge refinement to high-gloss finishes. The final process depends on material, starting surface, and required appearance.

Questions we hear before every project

What types of parts can be ground or polished?

We can finish fabricated and metal components including panels, brackets, enclosures, welded assemblies, and visible precision parts.

What is the difference between grinding and polishing?

Grinding is generally used to remove material, refine edges, blend welds, and improve surface condition. Polishing is used to produce a smoother and more refined surface appearance.

Can you blend and finish welds?

Yes. Welded areas can be ground and blended to create a more uniform surface before brushing, polishing, painting, or coating.

Can you achieve different surface appearances?

Yes. Finishes can range from refined matte and satin surfaces to high-gloss polished finishes, depending on the material and required application.

Cadlete Designs helped me design a 3d model for a quite complex project: the Lightsaber. There were a lot of design decisions which mattered here, and they executed them perfectly! After 3d printing everything worked out well and connected well. The response time is phenomenal, after asking for fixes they were done the next day or even sometimes the same day. They also provided nice explanation videos each time to explain the design choices made. Would definitely recommend!
