Cerakote for Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing has transformed product development and low-volume production, but 3D printed parts often fall short on surface finish, durability, and aesthetics straight off the printer. Cerakote ceramic coatings solve these challenges, turning raw additively manufactured parts into finished, production-ready components.
WW Coatings applies Cerakote to parts produced by all major additive processes including SLS, MJF, FDM, SLA, and DMLS. The coating bonds to both metal and polymer substrates, providing corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and UV protection while dramatically improving the surface appearance of printed parts. Layer lines and surface roughness are smoothed, color is applied uniformly, and the finished part looks and feels like a traditionally manufactured product.
For manufacturers using additive for end-use parts — not just prototypes — Cerakote bridges the gap between printed and finished. It is especially valuable for consumer-facing products where appearance matters, functional parts that need chemical or wear resistance, and low-volume production runs where tooling for traditional finishes is not cost-effective.
Our laser engraving services add branding, serialization, and compliance markings to coated or uncoated 3D printed parts with the same production-grade precision we deliver across every other industry.
