Abstract: A surface treatment method of an object, including the following steps immersion of the object in a solution containing an acid or a mixture of acids, and having a pH between 0 and 6, so as to impregnate the surface of the object, removal of the object from the acid solution, and heating of the object to a temperature between 50° C. and the melting temperature of the object, until the required gloss and roughness surface properties are obtained, the method is particularly but not exclusively applicable to objects derived from additive manufacturing techniques.

Abstract: A process for surface treatment of an object, including the following steps: dipping the object in a solution comprising a concentrated acid or a mixture of concentrated acids, and having a pH of between 0 and 2, in order to impregnate the surface of the object, removing the object from the acid solution, heating the object at a temperature of between 140° C. and 180° C., until melting of the surface is obtained, and cooling the object. The process according to the presently disclosed embodiment applies in particular, but not exclusively, to objects resulting from additive manufacture techniques.
