The Image Evaluation of 3D Printed Products Utilizing the 3D-Chemical Melting Finishing

Abstract

Currently 3D printing has many types. FDM 3D printing was expected spread in general household. However FDM 3D printing is not spread enough to have been expected. The reason why is that the layer grooves are generated in the FDM 3D printed objects. The layer grooves make worse the appearance of the FDM 3D printed objects. This is the problem for FDM 3D-printer user. We have developed the 3D-Chemical Melting finishing as the method for solving the problem. However, there are no methods for evaluating the 3D-Chemical Melting Finishing. This time, we develop the method for evaluating a 3D-Chemical Melting finishing. The method uses the brightness that obtained from the image. This is a method based on the amount of brightness and the reflected light is related.
