Processing and finishing

From sandwich panel to finished component: cnc machining, assembly, finishing and decorative surfaces

Mechanical processing and surface finishing extend the application potential of sandwich panels, transforming a semi-finished product into a component ready for assembly or installation.
CNC machining, fastening systems, edge finishing and surface treatments are developed to meet specific project requirements, helping optimise manufacturing processes, reduce downstream operations and simplify integration into the final product.

CNC machining and customisation

CNC machining enables the production of customised sandwich panels and components, adapting geometries, machining operations and integrated features to meet specific project requirements.

Precision cutting

Precision cutting according to technical drawings and dimensional specifications.

Shaping

Production of simple or complex geometries and custom profiles.

Milling

Creation of seats, grooves, pockets, preparation of box structures and other functional processing

Drilling

Through and blind holes, with preparation for inserts and rivets.

Engraving

Custom logos, markings and engraved details.

Engraving

Bespoke machining operations and the development of application-specific solutions.

Decorative and structural edge finishing

Edge finishing protects the panel core and provides a clean, durable finish. Depending on the configuration, it can serve a primarily aesthetic purpose or accommodate fastening systems and local structural reinforcements.
Available solutions include:

  • Applied edge finishing in aluminium, MDF, PVC, ABS, solid wood and laminates
  • Aluminium C- and T-profiles
  • Folded metal edge finishing

Flat strip edging

BT-profile edging

C-profile edging

Edging by folding the outer edge of the skin/facing

Fastening and joining systems

Sandwich panels can be prepared for attachment to supporting structures or for joining adjacent panels. Inserts, fastening systems and joining profiles are integrated according to the installation method and the specific requirements of the final application.
Available solutions include:

  • Through-fastening systems and self-tapping screws
  • Bolts
  • Visible or concealed rivets
  • Threaded inserts
  • Façade anchoring systems
  • Joining profiles
  • Custom solutions

Surfaces: Finishes and surface coverings

Aesthetics and protection, without compromising on structure

Sandwich panels can be customised with metal finishes, decorative surface coverings and protective treatments. Each solution is selected according to the panel configuration, service conditions and performance requirements of the final application.

Metal finishes

Metal surfaces can be customised with a wide range of finishes, from industrial coatings to decorative effects, meeting specific aesthetic and design requirements.
