Abstract

Since past three decades, direct printing of parts for various applications by the use of 3D-printing technology has gathered a lot of attention. However, many issues remain with the widespread applications of 3D-printed materials such as regulatory issues, sterile environment for part production, and the improvement of material properties with the desired structure. This article focuses on review of various post additive manufacturing processes to improve mechanical properties such as storage modulus and Young’s modulus and surface roughness. A heat treatment process after 3D printing was also discussed as potential method to achieve better mechanical properties by optimizing the crystalline structure of material. It was also reviewed that traditional AM technique produces products at a rapid rate and with minimum waste of materials and post processes could improve the surface finish as well as structure with higher strength in three dimensions.
