🚨 From Rough to Refined – What Blasting Really Does to Your Plastic Parts!

Part cleaning? Or a process with consequences? In this presentation by Tobias Schamberger, discover how blasting affects the quality, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness of your parts – and why “cheap” often turns out expensive.

“It just needs to be clean!” – Really?

Those who see blasting of 3D-printed plastic parts merely as powder removal miss out not only on quality but often on economic efficiency as well. Because blasting isn’t a cleaning ritual – it’s a technical process with real consequences for quality, functionality, and cost.

📌 Why does the finish sometimes look premium and sometimes like it came from the sandbox?
📌 Different finish quality despite the same process?
📌 And what on earth are those stripes after dyeing?

In our expert presentation, we’ll show you:

🔹 what really happens to the part surface during blasting,
🔹 how different blasting media affect quality and appearance,
🔹 why “cheap” blasting media are not always “cost-effective,”
🔹 and how sustainability, quality, and cost optimization don’t have to be contradictions.

Blasting isn’t sexy – but without blasting, you won’t get quality.

Whether for prototyping or serial production, discover how targeted blasting processes can not only clean but refine your parts. With practical examples, hands-on experience, and real-world tips, we’ll provide fresh insights for your additive manufacturing workflow.

Note: This presentation was given in German.
