The development of processing mechanism that corresponds to the shape of the 3D printed object

Abstract

The 3D printed object is suffering by the layer grooves. We developed the 3D Chemical Melting Finishing (3D-CMF). It can remove the layer grooves effectively and 3D-CMF is able to improve mechanical strength of the 3D printed structure. However there is no suitable process for the complex shape of the 3D printed structure. Therefore we developed the mechanism of the 3D-CMF that can adjust the amount of the processing. In this paper, we developed the automation mechanism of the 3D-CMF that is suitable for the complex shape of the 3D printed structure.
