Many different post-processing techniques exist. Additive manufacturing companies often specialize in certain types of finishing, and may even have their own proprietary finishing process. Below are common finishing techniques, as well as proprietary techniques found only at ProtoCAM. These techniques may be slightly
Owing to excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, i.e., high heat resistance, high strength, and high corrosion resistance, Ti alloys can be widely used as structural components, such as blades and wafers, in aero-engines. Due to the complex shapes, however, it is difficult to fabricate these components via traditional casting or

Introduction to Sheet Lamination Process A 3D object is created by fusing layers of material together using the Sheet Lamination Process, an additive manufacturing technique. It varies from other 3D printing methods in that it uses material sheets rather than filaments or powders, a development that occurred in the early 1990s.
Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals can be broadly accomplished via two defined technologies: powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. During AM fabrication, the melted feedstock material experiences fast thermal cycling due to the layer-by-layer deposition process resulting in microstructures and properties that are drastically

3D printing technologies: techniques, materials, and post-processing. Additive manufacturing, or more commonly known as 3D printing, has been at the forefront of manufacturing research for the past couple decades. Many advances have occurred in the basic printing techniques, materials, and post-processing schemes.
Post-processing is crucial for additive manufacturing to improve part quality and meet requirements. There are many post-processing techniques that address factors like surface finish, dimensional accuracy, support removal, and material properties. Surface finishing methods like sanding, chemical treatments, and coatings can enhance
Post-processing methods can be classified either based on the type of process (mechanical, chemical, and thermal), or the function of it (support removal, dimensional accuracy improvement, surface quality improvement, mechanical properties improvement, and additional features creation).
8- Dyeing. If the visual appearance of your powder-based polymer parts needs to be improved, then you probably need a dyeing post-processing step. Dyeing can be performed, either manually in pots of hot water or using automated dyeing equipment. This post-processing technique is mostly leveraged by HP MJF users.
