Surface roughness of 3D model for prototype generation

Surface roughness of 3D model for prototype generation

Is it possible to change the surface roughness of a 3D model for 3D printing? Building a prototype with 3D printing generates a model with smooth surfaces, while in reality, depending on the material, there are surfaces with different roughness.
A prototype made in 3D printing with smooth surfaces, has different results compared to a prototype made in cast iron.
This forces us to create a prototype with much higher costs than expected.

Creo Parametric currently fails to do this.
