  [1] |  | Post-Processing  Post-processing refers to the steps taken to improve the appearance and functionality of a 3D-printed object after it has been printed. Common post-processing techniques include sanding to smooth surfaces, painting to add color, and acetone vapor smoothing to create a glossy finish. For resin prints, post-processing may involve washing uncured resin and curing the object under UV light. Post-processing can also include assembling multiple printed parts, adding hardware, or applying coatings for durability. These steps are essential for achieving professional-quality results and enhancing the object’s usability. |
