Quantitative analysis of surface treatment to enhance surface finish and mechanical characteristics of ABS parts

The surface and subsurface integrity in coupled operation of fused deposited modeling and centrifugal disk finishing

“…The post-processing procedures are further classified into chemical finishing (Colpani et al , 2019; Valerga et al , 2019; Mu et al , 2020; Singh et al , 2020), irradiation-based surface finishing (Chen et al , 2020b; Zhang and Chen, 2020), thermal surface finishing (Chen and Zhang, 2019; Chen et al , 2020a; Taufik and Jain, 2020; Jithin and Joshi, 2021), mechanical finishing (Jian et al , 2021; Lizzul et al , 2021) and the combination of different finishing methods (McCullough and Yadavalli, 2013; Baligidad et al , 2020). The core principle of the chemical finishing method is based on the chemical reaction between the printed model and the applied solvent; however, the application of some chemicals might be inappropriate to some feedstock materials.…”
