Expert Insights into VDI 3400 & VDI Surface Texture
VDI 3400, established by the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), is the global benchmark for VDI surface quality. While commonly processed through EDM (Electrospark Machining), our expertise extends to achieving precise VDI grain via chemical etching and advanced sandblasting.
We provide the full spectrum of VDI finish grades, from the mirror-like VDI 12 to the high-friction VDI 45. Our SPI Finish options include grades A1-A3, B1-B3, C1-C3, and D1-D3 for diverse mold surfaces.
Looking for a reliable mold texture supplier in China? We specialize in VDI 3400 finish and VDI surface texture for automotive, medical, and electronic industries.
Our standardized VDI grain and SPI finish solutions help clients achieve international quality while reducing costs by 40-50%. Trust us for “Excellent Management and Quality First” in every VDI finish project.
