Surface Finishing Services
Surface finish determines how a part looks, feels and performs in service. We offer a full range of finishing processes — from cosmetic treatments to functional coatings for wear, corrosion and conductivity.
Electroplating
Zinc, nickel, hard chrome, gold and copper plating with controlled thickness (5–25 µm typical) for corrosion resistance and conductivity.
PVD Coating
TiN, TiCN, CrN, AlTiN and DLC coatings — 1–5 µm, 2300–2500 HV hardness for wear and aesthetic finishes.
Hot Stamping
Foil decoration for logos, wood grain and metallic finishes on ABS, PC and PMMA parts, with precise temperature and pressure control.
Laser Engraving
Permanent marking and serialization on metal and plastic — logos, UDI codes and traceability marks with ±0.05 mm registration.
Pad Printing
Multi-color printing on curved and textured surfaces for buttons, keycaps and consumer electronics.
Sandblasting
Matte and uniform surface texture from Ra 0.4 to Ra 3.2 µm — glass bead, aluminum oxide and plastic media options.
Surface Finishing Processes in Detail
Each finishing process below is offered in-house or through vetted finishing partners, with full documentation for IATF 16949 and ISO 13485 programs. DFM review covers finish selection, adhesion requirements and tolerance impact before any material is processed.

Why Finish with MOLDITQUICK?
Finishing is where a part's perceived quality is decided. At our 10,000 m² facility in Dongguan, the finishing team works alongside molding and machining — so finish selection happens at the design stage, not as an afterthought.
- One-factory control — molded or machined parts move straight to finishing without shipping or re-fixturing between vendors.
- Certified quality systems — IATF 16949, ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 govern every coating and print process, with COC and traceability on request.
- Quick turns — small-batch finishing in 7–12 days, production runs in 25–30 days.
- DFM-first — we flag adhesion, masking and plating-thickness issues in the design review, saving rework later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which finishing process is best for wear resistance?
PVD coatings (TiN, CrN, DLC) deliver 2300–2500 HV hardness with 1–5 µm thickness — ideal for sliding surfaces, cutting tools and high-wear plastic components.
Can you finish parts for medical devices?
Yes — under ISO 13485 we support medical-grade finishing with material certificates, biocompatibility-compatible coatings and full lot traceability.
Does finishing affect part tolerances?
Coatings add thickness (typically 5–25 µm for plating, 1–5 µm for PVD). We account for this in the DFM review so finished parts land inside the drawing tolerance.
What is the minimum order for finishing?
We accept small-batch finishing from 100 parts, with quick-turn 7–12 day lead times for low-volume programs.
How do I choose between electroplating and PVD?
Electroplating suits corrosion protection and conductivity on metal parts; PVD suits wear resistance and cosmetic finishes on both metal and plastic. Send us your part and application — our engineers will recommend the right process.
