Post-Processing
Surface preparation, deburring, cleaning, insert installation and dimensional inspection tailored to the component requirements.

Selecting the right manufacturing technology is not always enough to produce the final component. Burrs, surface irregularities or process residues can be a natural part of manufacturing.
These do not necessarily indicate manufacturing defects, but the technical, visual and functional requirements of the finished part may require additional processing.
At Runplast, post-processing is treated as an integral part of manufacturing, with the aim of bringing the finished component as close as possible to its specified final condition.
Not every component requires the same finishing operations. The required steps are selected according to material, geometry, surface, fit and quality requirements.
The surface can be cleaned, homogenised and prepared for further finishing processes.
This can be particularly important before painting, bonding or applying coatings.
Removing burrs, edges and residual material helps ensure accurate fit and safe use.
The operation is carried out while preserving geometry and function.
Oils, dust, process aids and other contaminants are removed before the next production step.
The cleaning process is adapted to the material and intended use.
Metal inserts can create stronger, more durable and load-resistant connection points.
Especially useful for threaded, rotating or frequently assembled joints.
Critical dimensions and geometric features can be verified against technical documentation and tolerances.
This provides objective and traceable information about component conformity.
Send us the drawing, 3D model or a photo of the finished part, and we can review the required surface preparation, assembly and inspection steps.
Let's discuss itThe extent of post-processing always depends on the manufacturing technology, material, geometry and final use of the component.
The goal is not to add as many finishing operations as possible, but only those genuinely required to achieve the desired technical and visual condition.
A 3D printed, vacuum cast, RIM moulded or injection moulded component may require different finishing operations.
The process must be adapted to the material properties, sensitivity and intended use.
Accessibility, critical surfaces and assembly points determine what can be done.
Fits and dimensional tolerances may require additional inspection or machining.
Future painting, bonding or visual requirements determine the necessary preparation.
The actual operating environment determines the required final condition.
Assessment of the manufactured part, its geometry and requirements.
Cleaning, deburring or surface homogenisation as required.
Insert installation, assembly operations or additional processing tailored to the application.
Verification of critical dimensions and quality requirements.
For low and medium-volume production, consistent post-processing can be just as important to a stable manufacturing process as the primary production technology.
Request a quoteA high-quality final product is not the result of a single manufacturing step.
Manufacturing technology, material, process parameters, post-processing and inspection form one connected workflow.
The objective is to deliver the component in a condition that meets its specified technical and end-use requirements.
