Guide sur le post-traitement et la finition de l'impression 3D SLA

Dans ce guide, nous abordons tout ce que vous devez savoir sur les différentes méthodes de post-traitement de l'impression 3D SLA disponibles, ainsi que la manière de choisir le procédé le mieux adapté à votre application.

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing has become vastly popular for its ability to produce high accuracy, isotropic, and watertight prototypes and end-use parts in a range of advanced materials with fine features and smooth surface finish.

However, parts do not come out of the printer 100% finished: they often require post-processing. Every part requires a quick wash and many materials require a short post-cure. These two steps can be streamlined with post-processing equipment such as the Form Wash and Form Cure and the large-format Form Wash L and Form Cure L from Formlabs.

Additionally, some parts could also benefit from further steps like sanding, coating, plating, or media blasting. These post-processing methods can achieve a wide range of results, such as making parts better suited for outdoor applications through UV protection, or increasing the mechanical strength of a part by plating it in metal or a ceramic solution like Cerakote.
