Usually, it takes a lot of time, many efforts and human resources to post process the details after printing. In addition, many users complain about the strength of the printed parts. The device I designed automates post-processing, strengthens parts and smoothes their surfaces. You can get the item of better quality and with better strength characteristics spending less time, less money and without human participation.”
