The importance of finishing
Finishing any engineering job properly is just as important as any other operation along the production cycle. And by finishing the engineering job, we’re not talking about tidying the file and completing the invoicing. We are talking about the paint or powder coating finish to the product The appearance of a finished product will always have an impact on the saleability. After all, if something looks rough and unfinished it’s less likely to sell. In addition, there’s the safety impact to consider. Rough edges and burrs can not only put buyers off but can be a serious health and safety risk. So an important part of finishing is to remove those risks. However, it’s not just the look of the product that matters when it comes to the finishing. From an engineering point of view, the primary reason for finishing is to prevent corrosion. You don’t want to spend time and money manufacturing a great product only to reduce its lifespan by using the wrong type of finish. Getting the finish wrong can result in disaster. Lack of surface preparation or using the wrong type of paint can put your product at greater risk of corrosion. So understanding how to prepare your product for finishing (i.e. smoothing and polishing) and then knowing what coating to use is essential to get the maximum look and performance.
