Postprocessing For Additive Manufacturing

CAD data and material in, finished component out. Additive manufacturing has long been imagined as magical. But what is practical for prototype construction cannot work in everyday production. While some dig in powder, the other support structures file - by hand. And how do you remove a component from the building board?

These mandatory steps are followed by the sensible ones for aesthetics, better fatigue properties, better rubbing properties or less frictional resistance, as well as surface preparation for subsequent coatings and improved corrosion protection. Surfaces are blasted or electrochemically treated and polished. One knows. One thinks. Because the advantage of additive manufacturing is reversed in its disadvantage: The variety of geometries is the greatest challenge for surface processing.

At the conference “3D printing! And then? - Postprocessing for Additive Manufacturing”you will get to know the variants of post-processing that have been specially tailored to the needs of additively manufactured components. Find out which work steps in which additive processes no longer have to be done by hand. In addition, speakers will show you ways in which precautions for easier post-processing are already taken in the design.

Do you already have a question on the subject? Put it in when you register, we will find the right contact for you! More information and the program will be available shortly at www.3Dpostprocessing.de.
