Part smoothing for 3D printed parts, especially parts printed in ABS, has been around for a while. The process of exposing an ABS part to acetone vapor turns even low-resolution prints into smooth, ...

For prototyping plastic parts, fused-deposition modeling (FDM) builds stronger components than any other major additive technology. For prototyping plastic parts, fused-deposition modeling (FDM) ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The limitations of the platform are numerous — ranging from anisotropic ...
