Post processing 3D prints is an important, and sometimes neglected, part of the 3D printing workflow.Rösler Benelux, a manufacturer of industrial finishing equipment and chemicals, has announced the launch of its RÖSLER RapidFinish technology, a multi-functional platform for surface finishing 3D printed metal and plastic objects.
Rösler Benelux will be demonstrating the RapidFinish at the TechniShow in Utrecht, an international trade show for the manufacturing industry. Attendees will be given the opportunity to test its RapidFinish smoothing technology.
平滑完成的需求
尽管3D打印削减了交货时间并适应复杂的几何形状的构建，但直接从3D打印机中出现的物体未完成粗糙的表面，边缘和角落。
As Rösler notes, in the case of FDM/FFF plastic 3D printing, layer-lines are usually visible, which may deter customers wishing to use high-quality components in high-value industries.
In the case of metal 3D printing, the excess metal powder may give objects a rough surface, and render them unsuitable for automotive, medical, dentistry, jewelry and aviation end-uses.
Rösler’s finishing machines
Rösler目前提供了各种表面填充剂，旋转振动器和爆炸柜，可提供3D印刷物体的表面质量。
尽管罗斯勒（Rösler）对多功能快速填充平台没有太多指定，但它揭示了玻璃塑料珠爆破和幻灯片磨削是“实现平滑3D印刷产品的最流行方法”，并且最好将这些技术应用于完成的表面上塑料和金属物体。
Glass-Plastic bead blasting, a process also offered by companies likeDyeMansion和Guyson，涉及带有金属，玻璃或陶瓷的圆形颗粒的影响塑料表面，它们使表面平滑。
In slide-grinding, ceramic or plastic-bonded chips are brought into contact with a 3D printed product inside a vibrating, liquid-filled drum. The composition and size of the chips affect how smooth the surface finish of the object is.
罗斯勒还承诺，快速精英将提供“完全自动化的”但“可持续，环保的处理技术”。
RapidFinish将展出技术乌得勒支（Utrecht），第8厅，立场088，2018年3月20日至23日。
