Finished Parts & Processes
It’s not how you start…
With the hundreds of various types of plastics and polymers, aluminum alloys, brass and bronze, and stainless or carbon steel alloys Tamshell works with, we’re very familiar with processes to finish your parts to exact specifications. Whether we finish your parts internally or send them out to a trusted partner, we monitor the quality of all parts shipped from our docks and ensure everything is inspected closely.
All Part of the Process
We work with many outside processing partners with dozens of available finishing options for our customers parts. We carefully vet all vendors to meet our stringent quality standards and cybersecurity adherence. Just like us, we require specific representations and certifications to earn our business.
Machined As-Is
All surfaces as machined, tool markings evident, all features still machined to spec.
Bead Blasting
Matte finishes with gentle texturing, visually appealing for parts that usually are on the surface of a product and need certain aesthetics.
Powder Coating
Adds wear and corrosion-resistant layers, with many color options for visibly pleasing features.
Anodizing
Greatly assists corrosion with many color options for most aluminum part types.
Polishing
Smooth, shiny surfaces. Tool markings may be less or not visible. Vapor polishing for best brilliance.
Plating
Adds a metal coating to greatly improve appearance and helps resistance to corrosion.
Vapor Polishing
Popular polishing for plastic parts and components. Adds very brilliant aesthetics and may create mirror sheen or gloss.
Fire Polishing
Surface melting of some plastics to create more brilliance.
