Representative 3D printed parts at different stages of surface finishing

Capability · Surface operations

Define the surfaces that carry the product experience.

Separate functional interfaces from customer-facing surfaces and specify the necessary finishing effort accordingly.

Manufacturing context

Start with the complete production intent.

Not every surface needs the same treatment. Clear finish zones and acceptance references help direct labor toward the places customers see and touch.
