Alternative Processes: Additive/3D Printing - Rösler Metal Finishing USA LLC

Session Topic: Frequently Asked Questions about AM Post-Processing

Tuesday, 9/10, 11:00AM to 11:55AM / Room W192-A

What is post-processing of 3D-printed components, and why is it an essential part of the additive manufacturing process? 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.

When it comes to surface finishing, Rösler is naturally the number one choice for many companies across the globe.

With this wealth of experience behind us, we are continually developing.

Due to additive manufacturing becoming an increasingly popular production technology, in 2018 we combined all the activities of the Rösler Group relating to 3D printing under the brand AM Solutions. This includes the division for automated post-processing solutions (3D post-processing technology) and a comprehensive service division (Manufacturing service partner).

With our latest brand, Rösler Smart Solutions, a digitalization division has also been added to our product portfolio.
