It's pretty cool to read about something that we see every day but never even think of. All the machined parts that I see have some kind of finish but I've never stopped to consider it. I'm reasonably familiar with most manufacturing or machining processes, so it's interesting to see the next steps beyond that. I was surprised to read that the most popular finish option was bare metal, but I suppose it makes sense given that it's probably the cheapest option. I've heard of anodizing before and known what its applications are, but I didn't know that it literally adds material to the surface of the part. I'd be interested to know if parts are modeled differently if anodizing is in mind. I didn't know that powder coating isn't durable in exterior weather conditions. The article doesn't directly compare the different methods of finishing, but I'm curious to know how one would decide between powder coating and anodizing.
