Stratasys ProSurface Sand-Blaster FAQs
Get answers to your surface finishing questions
- What are the compatible materials and systems for the ProSurface?
Both rigid and flexible materials by Stratasys are compatible for ProSurface™. Where for rigid materials the result will be a smoothed, enhanced colors surface and for flexible a soft ‘silicone like’ feeling. - Is the ProSurface process easy and fast?
Depending on the size and complexity of the geometry to be post processed the procedure can be longer or shorter in general, the process is faster, easier and cleaner than any other manual/semi manual processes. - Is the ProSurface easy to operate?
Yes, very easy and intuitive. After filling the tanks with blaster media, the system is ready to use and only a few minutes of practice are required in order to understand how to operate.
- Do I need any site preparation in order to install the ProSurface unit?
Yes. The ProSurface installation is simple, but air pressure system preparation is required prior to installation. - How many parts can be processed simultaneously in the ProSurface?
The platform can be entirely occupied by clean printed parts. Only one part can be post processed at time but all other parts can wait inside the chamber for its turn.
