Surface finishing

Metal
grinding

Automatic deburring and surface grinding for parts in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper: even edges and surfaces ready for coating, finishing or quality control.

We process laser-cut parts as well as parts from other manufacturing operations, including parts supplied by the customer.

Materials and finishes

What we process and how the result looks

Materials and finishes are combined according to the incoming surface condition and where the part is headed: direct delivery or preparation for coating. We agree the right option when we quote.

Materials
Steel Stainless steel Aluminium Brass Copper
Deburring Clean edges, with the burrs left by cutting removed
Levelling A consistent matt appearance across the whole part
Satin finish A brushed finish with a uniform grain direction
Fine finish Fine grit, for smooth surfaces and visible parts
Surface processing

Surfaces ready for the next stage

Automatic grinding removes the burrs left by cutting, evens out edges and prepares surfaces for coating, finishing or direct delivery.

The automated process gives consistent results across the whole part, so every piece comes out the same. We process parts cut in our own production as well as parts supplied by the customer.

Applications

The right finish for wherever the part is headed

Grinding and deburring are essential for parts destined for assembly, coating or direct delivery as finished products.

Preparation for coating

Even, burr-free surfaces give powder coating optimal adhesion, particularly along the edges.

Preparation for quality control

Parts with clean edges and even surfaces, ready for visual inspection and dimensional measurement.

Preparation for assembly

Rounded edges and flat surfaces make assembly, welding and fitting easier.

Decorative satin finish

A uniform satin finish for stainless steel and aluminium parts intended for display or design applications.

Safe handling

Rounded edges make metal components safe to handle and fit.

OEM components

Parts finished to the customer's specifications, ready to be built into products sold under their own brand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We carry out deburring, edge rounding, surface levelling and preparation for coating or finishing. Parameters are adjusted to the material and the finish required.
Yes. We process parts cut in MetalicForm's own production as well as parts supplied by the customer, for deburring and surface finishing.
We process carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper, adjusting the parameters per material for the best results.
Chemical surface preparation is part of the coating process itself. Grinding is an additional step, recommended for parts with burrs or sharp edges after cutting: it prevents coating defects along the edges. We assess it at quotation stage, based on the condition of the parts.
Yes. We produce a uniform satin finish for stainless steel parts intended for decorative applications or display.
The maximum part size depends on the machine's working width. We confirm feasibility after reviewing your part specifications.
Yes. We can carry out grinding and deburring as a standalone service, whatever the source of the parts.
We treat all documentation and commercial information as confidential. On request, we can sign an NDA before you send your files.
