Standard 3D printing post processing
FDM
Standard (no additional post-processing)
- All surfaces must have a consistent visual appearance
- Support structures are removed
- Excess support/build material are removed
- All parts are printed with 3 outline / perimeter shells or a wall thickness of 1.2 mm
- Top and bottom layers will have a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm (6 layers at 100 um)
SLA
Standard (no additional post-processing)
- All support material is removed and support nibs are sanded smooth
- For clear resins, a polishing oil is applied
- Formlabs materials are cured in a Form Cure using the following settings which follow the official Formlabs "Recommended Cure" settings
