Post-processing is the final step of the 3D printing process. Depending on your requirements, you may need to perform some of the following common post-processing steps for an FDM 3D printed part:
- Removing supports: After printing, you will most likely want to remove any extraneous support material. It’s not uncommon to see some marks left behind on the part’s surface.
- Sanding: Removing blemishes, such as those left over from removing support material, is where sanding comes in. Lightly sanding 3D printed parts can make the surface smoother.
