... Applicability Post-processing 3D printing constitutes a form of additive manufacturing technology that creates structures layer-by-layer (Dankar et al., 2018). The unique advantages inherent to 3D printing, such as free-form design and a high degree of customization, are exploited to produce...

...Arthur de Carvalho Cruzeiro; Leonardo Santana; Danay Manzo Jaime; Sílvia Ramoa; Jorge Lino Alves; Guilherme Mariz de Oliveira Barra Purpose This study aims to evaluate in situ oxidative polymerization of aniline (Ani) as a post-processing method to promote extrusion-based 3D printed parts...

... Mechanical properties Crack propagation Post-processing Obtaining rock models with internally consistent structures has posed a continual challenge in indoor rock experiments. The inherent uncertainty regarding the structural similarity within natural rock cores undermines the assurance, thereby...

...-source machines, which print with polylatic acid (PLA) filament from any vendor. The immediate consequence of this choice was the option of a compromise solution that implied more post-processing, which includes increased costs. That have been quantified and represent values much lower than...

...Virendra Kumar Verma; Sachin S. Kamble; L. Ganapathy; Pradeep Kumar Tarei Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify, analyse and model the post-processing barriers of 3D-printed medical models (3DPMM) printed by fused deposition modelling to overcome these barriers for improved operational...

...Sugavaneswaran M.; Prashanthi B.; John Rajan A. Purpose This paper aims to enhance the surface finish of the fused deposition modeling (FDM) part using the vapor smoothening (VS) post-processing method and to study the combined effect of FDM and VS process parameters on the quality of the part...

... the functionality of binder jet 3D printed objects for thermally activated building construction elements and recyclable formwork for concrete structures. Design/methodology/approach Binder jet printed sand samples with various material and post-processing parameters (infiltration and baking) are prepared...

...Tristan Schlotthauer; Jan Nitsche; Peter Middendorf Purpose During post-processing of stereolithography photopolymers, the limited penetration depth of ultraviolet (UV) light can lead to inhomogeneous cross-linking. This is a major problem in part design for industrial applications as this creates...
