From Rough to Refined - What blasting really does to your plastic parts!
Just cleaning? Or a process with consequences? Learn how blasting affects the quality, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness of your components—and why “cheap” often ends up being expensive.
“It just has to be clean!” – Really?
If you think blasting 3D-printed plastic parts is just about getting rid of left powder, you're missing out on quality – and often cost-effectiveness too. Blasting isn't just a hygiene ritual. It's a technical process – with real consequences for quality, function, and costs.
📌 Why does the finish sometimes look classy and sometimes like it came from a sandbox?
📌️ Different finish quality despite identical processes?
📌 And what the heck are those streaks after dyeing?
In our technical presentation, we show:
🔹 what really happens to the component surface during the blasting process;
🔹 how different blasting media affect quality and appearance,
🔹 why “cheap” does not always mean “economical” when it comes to blasting media,
🔹 and how sustainability, quality, and cost optimization do not have to be contradictory.
Blasting is not sexy – but without blasting, quality is impossible.
Whether for use in prototyping or real series production, discover how targeted blasting processes can not only clean your components, but also refine them. With examples, empirical values, and practical tips, we will give you new ideas for your additive manufacturing value chain.
We look forward to your visit!
