The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of surface finishing in three polymer-based composits (composits) on the result of a 3-point bending test using quantitative and qualitative fractography as well as microstructural characteristics. 270 rectangular specimens (n = 30) of three composits were prepared, stored and tested according to NIST No. 4877. Prior testing, the samples were subjected to three surface treatments: 1) no treatment, to preserve the oxygen inhibition layer, 2) with FEPA P1200 (ANSI equivalent grit 600) SiC paper abraded surface, and 3) polished surface. A three-point bending testing was employed, followed by quantitative (assessment of reason for failure and fracture pattern) and qualitative (fracture mirror measurements) fractography, 3D and 2D surface imaging, surface roughness, reliability and Fe-SEM analysis. The mirror radius that runs in the direction of constant stress was used to calculate the mirror constant (A) using Orr's equation. Uni- and multifactorial ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test, and Weibull analysis was performed for statistical analysis. Surface finishing has less influence on the fracture pattern, reliability and mechanical parameters and has no influence on the mirror constant. The amount of inorganic filler has a direct impact on flexural strength and modulus, while the ranking of materials was independent of surface treatment. Failures initiated by volume defects were the most common failure mode (77.0%) with surface defects accounting for 14.9% (edge) and 7.7% (corner). Polishing resulted in lower peak-to valley height compared to no treatment, both 3–4 times lower compared to the 600 grit treatment. The increase in roughness within the analyzed range did not lead to an increase in surface-related failures. The clear dominance of volume defects in all examined materials as a cause of material fracture reduces the impact of roughness on the measured properties. This insight was only possible using qualitative and quantitative research fractography.
