QuickCutCNC Offers Additional Finishing Options

By DE Editors

Quickparts, a 3D Systems company has released additional secondary finishing capabilities through QuickCutCNC.   This new rapid CNC machining service is now providing anodizing and electroless nickel plating as an option for parts CNC machined from either Aluminum 6061 or 7075.          

These finishes are post machining processes designed to enhance the durability and strength of aluminum by adding an exterior coating to the final parts.   Electroless nickel plating provides corrosion protection, wear resistance, soldering ability, and increased hardness, according to the company. Anodizing also increases hardness and corrosion/abrasion resistance, while providing electrical insulation and the ability to dye the anodized parts a variety of colors.   QuickCutCNC is currently offering the following colors for anodizing:   red, gold, green, blue, black, and clear (light silver).
