Vibratory Grinding

In this process, the 3D-printed parts to be smoothed are placed in a vibrating trough for several hours together with a processing medium (ceramic grinding stones) and an aqueous additive (compound). The vibration creates a relative movement of the component to the processing medium, and the grinding stones remove a small amount of material from the surface of the part. This material removal ensures smoothing of the part surface. Due to their smooth surface, vibratory finished SLS components are less prone to dirt adhesion and have an improved feel.
