3D Plus™ Hardware

• How do we guarantee the quality of post-processed 3D printed parts?+

  After printing, we will conduct a thorough inspection of the printed parts before post-processing. Check for defects and inaccuracies and ensure the parts meet the initial design specifications.

  
  

  Then, we utilize precise and well-documented post-processing techniques. Each method, such as sanding, polishing, or coating, should follow a standardized process to ensure consistency.

  
  

  Experienced and trained technicians who understand the nuances of post-processing. Their expertise helps in achieving the desired quality and finish. During post-processing, perform periodic inspections to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.

  
  

  After post-processing, we will conduct a detailed final inspection. Check for uniform surface finish, dimensional accuracy, structural integrity, and overall aesthetic quality. Besides, we use precise measurement tools like calipers, micrometers, and surface profilometers to verify that the parts meet the required specifications and standards.

  
  

  By following this comprehensive procedure, we guarantee the quality of post-processed 3D printed parts, ensuring they meet the highest standards for performance, durability, and appearance.

• Will the lead time for parts using post-processing be longer?+

  Yes, the lead time for parts that require post-processing will generally be longer than for those that don't.

  
  

  Post-processing steps such as sanding, polishing, coating, or vapor smoothing add additional time to the production process. The specific increase in lead time depends on the complexity of the post-processing methods used and the volume of parts being processed.
