Post Processing

Tapping and screw inserts

cutting a thread inside a hole to facilitate for easy fastening by screw or bolt

Manual Sanding

Using abrasives sanding the part uniformly to remove the material to make it smooth

Vibration Tumbling

Deburr sharp and internal surfaces with vibratory media to improve the surface finish

Electroplating

Metallization of parts by coating with a metal layer for good wear resistance and electrical properties

Spray Painting

Coating with high quality paint with different colour codes, glossy and matte finishing

Vapourfuse smoothing

Chemical treatment which fuses the layers and improve surface finish/aesthetics

What are the Benefits of FDM Printing for the Production?

FDM technology can go about building quick prototypes with strength and speed, at a very economical price in a range of production grade thermoplastic materials.

Freedom of design

Quicker Lead times

Cost Savings
