Vapor Smoothing for 3D Printed Parts

By |2016-12-15T14:30:52-05:00December 2nd, 2016|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|0 Comments

Vapor smoothing can be used to produce a polished, consistent finish on your 3D parts. In conventional injection molding for mass production, parts come directly off the mold with a mirrored or textured finish. No post processing is required and upon cooling, the part can be packaged and shipped to its destination. Molders achieve this complete finish using polishing techniques with brushes, felts, stones, and other tools. With fused deposition modeling, heated thermoplastics are extruded [...]
