German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / sculpture
German term or phrase: Nacharbeitung
Context: "Eine Alternative zu diesem Kopierprozess ist die Ausführung eines Modells durch den Abguss mit flüssigem Metall in der spezialisierten Bildgießerei. Deren Nacharbeitung übernimmt der Ziseleur."

I can see the formation nach + Arbeitung, but what would a suitable English equivalent be?
