abstract

  • Nowadays, it is quite clear that additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are extremely useful for
    manufacturing various and complicated shapes. However, most of the different techniques that are grouped under
    AM denomination, have still some important aspects to be improved, such as surface excessive roughness, unmelted
    particles or dimensional variations. As it is very well known within this sector, this is one of the key
    aspects to optimize when using additive manufacturing, since it is directly related to post-processing time and
    cost. In this work, a deep experimental analysis on DMLS manufactured parts surface finishing is presented,
    comparing the results of different post-processing techniques both in finishing quality and cost.
