POST- PROCESSING FOR THE INDUSTRIAL PARTS BUILD ON FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM)

Adrian COMAN, Petru BERCE, Simona RODEAN

Abstract


In many Rapid Prototyping applications, surface is a major concern of importance. Not all RP technologies produce finished parts, which makes secondary processes, such as grinding or polishing, possible. These additional steps add time and cost to prototyping. As the goal of RP technology is to produce finished models quickly and at a low cost, producing the right surface on RP parts is important. Industrial Parts makers and manufacturers usually describe the performance of their devices in terms of accuracy or minimal layer thickness, and minimal surface roughness achieved.
