Session Topic: Frequently Asked Questions about AM Post-Processing
Tuesday, 9/10, 11:00AM to 11:55AM / Room W192-A
What is post-processing of 3D-printed components, and why is it an essential part of the additive manufacturing process? When 3D printing components, so much time is invested in selecting a printer and optimizing the part design, and very little time is spent thinking about post-processing the parts once printed. This presentation reviews the steps used to process 3D-printed metal parts in particular, and goes through some useful examples of how designing for post-processing should be a strategic step in your build process.
