Dialing in Design for Optimal Post-Processing

Abstract

Though it may physically take place after 3D printing, successful post-processing begins early in the design process. Post-processing results can vary along feature sizes, part thicknesses, print orientations, and more. Identifying these potential mishaps beforehand can prevent costly failures later on. At Forecast 3D, we have developed a suite of test parts to dial in the interaction of design components with finishing methods like paint, vapor polishing, and tumbling. We share our design process in constructing reference parts for use in systematic finishing tests. We also present our results from using these reference parts in a post-processing design of experiment.
