Abstract

Surface finish is a key issue that must be addressed in most rapid prototyping processes. The surface of the component is often rough because the component is created layer-by-layer, and in some techniques the layers are generated point-by-point. This roughness generally has a wavelength and amplitude that are proportional to the layer thickness. The approaches usually employed to reduce the roughness include reducing the layer thickness and/or using post-fabrication grinding. Modifications to existing processes that improve the surface finish would be desirable for reducing fabrication time and cost.
