Polishing 3D Printing Finish

There are a couple ways to polish an object, depending on its material and design. At Sculpteo, the technique used involves using small stones in a rotating/vibrating cauldron – as the stones brush up against the object, small imperfections in the surface are smoothed. For reference, something that is long and slim can be just as complicated as a complex object with empty cavities; even some simple shapes can be complicated to polish. This is because we need to both guard the corners and edges of the object, while polishing the flat surfaces.

All of these particularities warrant their very own engineering team at Sculpteo. They determine the appropriate abrasiveness and technology to polish your object into perfection. That optimization makes all the difference.
