If you’re working with aluminium and want a finish that’s durable, sleek, and professional, anodizing is the way to go.
At Everlab, we often design aluminium parts with anodizing in mind. While we don’t anodize in-house, we work closely with trusted partners to get consistent, high-quality results — whether you’re after a bold colour, a subtle matte look, or long-lasting corrosion resistance.
What is anodizing?
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that turns the surface of aluminium into a tough, protective oxide layer. It’s not a coating — it’s a transformation of the material itself. That means it won’t peel or flake off.
It can also be dyed in a range of colours, giving your parts a durable and aesthetic finish.
Why choose anodizing?
- Strong surface protection – Scratch- and corrosion-resistant
- Sleek look – From deep black to vibrant colour or natural matte
- No added thickness – Tolerances stay tight
- Great for branding – Logos or details can be laser-engraved after
- Long-lasting – Especially in outdoor or high-touch environments
When to anodize
Anodizing is ideal for:
- CNC milled aluminium parts
- Enclosures, frames, and housings
- Buttons, knobs, and handles
- Visual models that need a production-like finish
- Parts exposed to wear, weather, or skin contact
How we support it
- We design with anodizing in mind, avoiding hidden pockets and sharp edges that can cause uneven results
- We advise on colour and finish options (matte, satin, gloss)
- We coordinate with anodizing partners to get consistent quality
- We can combine anodizing with laser engraving for custom markings
Want your aluminium parts to be tougher, better-looking, and built to last? Let’s anodize them.
