Understanding droplet generation and layer formation using Ultrasonic Spray Coating for the roughness reduction and application of functional coatings on Additive Manufactured free-form parts Hasselt University
A major problem in additive manufacturing is the post-treatment, required on all 3D-printed objects to reduce surface roughness. In most cases this post-treatment is performed by labour-intensive, subtractive techniques such as grinding or laser ablation. More recent post-treatment techniques, such as spray or laser coating, add a final, smooth layer, that is, however, too thick for a real breakthrough. The focus of this project will therefore ...
