Learn about the presentation
When 3D printing components so much time is invested in selecting a printer and optimizing the part design, and very little time is spent thinking about post-processing the parts once printed. This presentation reviews the steps used to process 3D-printed metal parts in particular, and goes through some useful examples of how designing for post-processing should be a strategic step in your build process.
