CASE STUDY:

Mastering Surface Finish via Combined Post-Processing

Technologies used:

Depowdering
Surface Blasting
Vapor Smoothing

Summary:

Surface roughness of 3D printed parts is considered a constraint for many end-use applications. Depending on the application, a combination of post-processing techniques can be required to achieve the desired end result.

AMT has partnered with ERPRO 3D Factory to evaluate the effectiveness of various post-processing techniques to achieve different levels of surface finishes.

This study analyzes multiple processes, including Depowdering, Shot Blasting, Chemical Vapor Smoothing, Centrifugal Mass Tumbling and Coloring in different combinations.
