Raw castings naturally have a dull, rough texture, with sprues measuring approximately 7-10mm in length. To reduce your bench work, we offer post-processing services at an additional fee.
Casting results in a rough texture, but our ultra-high-shine service cuts down your time behind the bench. We use precision machinery under controlled conditions, along with proprietary lubricants, to ensure minimal metal removal while delivering an exceptionally polished finish.

Do note the following:
This process does not remove or smooth out printing lines or support bumps. A microscopic amount of metal is removed during the abrasive process. For instance, a 5.00g ring may lose approximately 0.03-0.07g of gold. To ensure accuracy, we only charge for the metal weight after the finishing process is complete, avoiding overcharges.
After casting, the sprue typically measures 7-10mm in length and 3mm in diameter. This length ensures safe separation from the casting tree. However, we offer an ultra-close cut, reducing the sprue length to 1.5-2mm. This not only decreases chargeable metal weight but also prepares the piece for seamless blending into the casting.
