Here, the additive nature of the process means that the production process is environmentally friendlier and does not involve etching chemicals. Furthermore, the digital nature of the patterning (inkjet printing) means that designs can be changed faster.
While acetone works in combination with ABS, it is not viable for smoothing PLA prints. Fortunately, there are alternatives to acetone for PLA. From chemical solvents to manual techniques, here are the ways you can post-process and smooth a PLA 3D print.
Designers often work with a clean slate, dreaming up products that can be manufactured in any number of ways. But for manufacturers, the design stage is where important decisions are made about how the product will be produced.
With the rapid development of the automobile industry and its production capacity, traditional sheet metal processes can no longer meet the sector’s growing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to consider new and innovative technologies to keep up with the industry’s ever-evolving needs.
