Finished when it fits. With our post-processing
Many parts only achieve their full functionality and final quality through the right post-processing. Within our network, we have specialists for every type of finishing, ensuring you receive parts that are ready for installation.
Functionality often only comes to the right post-processing
Whether parts are produced additively, cast, milled, or injection-moulded – in many cases, post-processing is key to meeting technical, visual, or regulatory requirements. Grinding, coating, heat treatment, or machining can transform a raw component into a ready-to-use product.
At Replique, we offer a wide range of finishing processes – tailored to your part, material, and application. This way, you don’t just get a part, you get a complete, installation-ready solution.
Our post-processing services
Surface Treatment
Purpose: Improve feel, appearance, or function (e.g. reduce friction)
Typical processes:
- Blasting (sand, glass bead, shot blasting)
- Grinding and polishing
- Chemical smoothing
Painting and Coating
Purpose: Enhance appearance and technical properties (e.g. conductivity, UV resistance)
Typical processes:
- Powder or wet painting
- Electroplating
- Anodising (especially for aluminium parts)
- Metal coatings (e.g. chrome, nickel)
- Plastic coatings (e.g. PVD/CVD coatings, silicone coatings)
Heat Treatment
Purpose: Improve mechanical properties (e.g. hardness, toughness, stress relief)
Typical processes:
- Stress relief annealing
- Hardening (e.g. case hardening, nitriding)
- Tempering
- Solution annealing and ageing (e.g. for aluminium or stainless steel)
- Tempering for plastics (e.g. SLA/DLP parts)
Machining
Purpose: Achieve functional dimensions and tolerances
Typical processes:
- Turning
- Drilling
- Milling
- Thread cutting
Other Post-Processing
Purpose: Meet application-specific or industry-specific requirements
Examples:
- Cleaning (e.g. ultrasonic, solvent)
- Sterilisation (e.g. autoclaving, gamma irradiation – relevant for medical applications)
- Infiltration (e.g. for porous parts)
- Functional additions such as threaded inserts
