Finishing as a value added service?

on July 24, 2018

When you present your samples to a prospective customer the look of the part and the feel of the edges are the first thing they will see and pick up on. The part could be cut or formed to the exact specs requested but it has sharp edges or a variety of random handling marks.

Finding rust and debris is never a welcome surprise when a machine has gone down.
