How smooth are Makelab's finishes?

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

1. SLA Resin

SLA resin provides the smoothest finish right out of the printer, making it ideal for models where surface quality is critical.

2. MJF Nylon

MJF nylon delivers strong, functional parts but has a naturally textured surface that can be refined with polishing or coating.

3. FDM

FDM creates larger drafts quickly but with visible layer lines.

4. Finishing Services

Our finishing services help teams strike the right balance between functional testing and presentation-ready aesthetics.
