How smooth are Makelab’s finishes?

Last updated: 2026-04-09

Surface quality depends on the process selected, and Makelab offers finishing options to match different needs.

SLA resin provides the smoothest finish right out of the printer, making it ideal for models where surface quality is critical. MJF nylon delivers strong, functional parts but has a naturally textured surface that can be refined with polishing or coating. FDM creates larger drafts quickly but with visible layer lines. Our finishing services help teams strike the right balance between functional testing and presentation-ready aesthetics.
