  • Method for post-processing an additively manufactured part
    Patent number: 11919262
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for post-processing a powder-based additively manufactured part. The method comprising the steps of providing a powder-based additively manufactured part, the additively manufactured part comprising a material having a melting point, providing a fluid for processing the additively manufactured part in order to improve the surface finish of the additively manufactured part, wherein the fluid comprises at least one solvent selected from an organic ester, an aromatic organic compound or an acetal, a heating step, wherein the fluid is heated; and an application step, wherein the heated fluid is applied to a surface of the additively manufactured part. It has been found this process can help to improve the surface finish of the additively manufactured part, e.g. resulting in a less rough (i.e. smoother) surface finish.
