What is 3D Print Finishing?
3D print surface finishing is a process aimed at achieving the desired surface quality for a product. This essential step ensures that manufacturers meet specific surface quality standards, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of 3D-printed parts.
Importance of 3D Print Finishing
3D printing is an innovative technology that allows for the rapid production of components with high flexibility. However, 3D-printed parts can sometimes exhibit inconsistencies or imperfections. 3D print finishing addresses these issues, smoothing out any irregularities left by the printing process. This step is crucial for improving the aesthetics and chemical properties of the parts, achieving the desired final result.
Different 3D Print Finishing Options
The finishing process for a 3D-printed part is tailored to the material type, significantly improving the part’s smoothness. Depending on the application, various finishing options can be employed:
- Blasting: Blasting smooths and textures the part, removing material residues and creating an even surface for subsequent painting and dyeing.
- Arc Spraying: Arc Spray Coating enhances strength and durability, particularly for plastic parts susceptible to external damage. Adding a metal layer also provides a sophisticated, sleek appearance. A thick layer of arc sprayed metal can also allow for a mean of casting.
- Sanding: Sanding uses abrasive sandpaper to smooth the part’s surface. The friction breaks off or flattens imperfections, and additional polishing cloths, painting, or extra-fine sandpaper can further enhance surface quality.
- Painting: Painting improves appearance, offering virtually any look for the part while providing a degree of sealing protection.
