LaserBoost’s Blog
At LaserBoost we offer a wide range of finishes for your parts. Here, we show you what they look like and their main applications.
The Natural finish (2B, unfinshed or no finish indicated) refers to the finish of the supply as received from the warehouse of our material suppliers.
The material may contain surface marks or scratches from delivery or handling.
– Possible surface marks or scratches
– Cheaply material
– Applications: Mechanical, industrial, prototypes and all those applications that do not require a remarkable aesthetic aspect.
– The back side may contain scratches or burrs. A deburring back-side operation can be added in the online configurator.

Burrs will be more noticeable the thicker the material and the more detailed the design is. In our configurator it is possible to add the extra operation of “Deburring Back-Side”, where we will vibrate the back side of the parts.
