Experimental investigation of FDM process for improvement of mechanical properties and production cost (2014, methodology): “Several works based on the stair-stepping effect show that a smaller layered thickness would result in lower surface roughness (Galantucci et al., 2010; Pandey et al., 2003).”
Overview on Additive Manufacturing Technologies (2017, background): “Unconventional finishing processes might also be employed to improve the superficial finishing [26-28].”
Influence of printing parameters on the stability of deposited beads in fused filament fabrication of poly(lactic) acid (2019, methodology): “Chemical post-processing treatment [17] [18] [19], modification of the generated code and slicing [19] [20] [21] and post-processing machining [22] are also effective to reduce the roughness.”
A review on quality control in additive manufacturing (2018, methodology): “With this chemical method, Galantucci et al. (2010) studied how this chemical reaction affects mechanical properties as well as surface finish.”
