Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) are the best 3D printing technologies when it comes to the production of water-resistant parts. The following techniques can mostly be applied during the FDM printing process to achieve better water-resistant properties for the printed parts.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wall-thickness\"><strong>Wall Thickness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Printing with a layer thickness of 0.15mm gives good print quality and good water-resistant parts. Increasing the thickness of the wall is one way to reduce porosity to water. The thickness of the wall may be increased by using a low layer height, solid infill and high temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"increase-shells\"><strong>Increase Shells<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As a rule of thumb, the more perimeters added, the higher the chances of producing a water-resistant part. Indeed, the combination of 4 to 6 perimeters with a wall thickness of about 3mm works well for watertight parts. However, different materials have different perimeter limits hence the importance of considering the perimeter limit for the chosen material.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"higher-printing-temperature\"><strong>Higher Printing Temperature<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Higher temperatures may give better layer adhesion between every layer. This improved bonding reduces the inter-layer gaps that may cause leakage of water.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"postprocessing-options-to-get-waterresistant-parts\"><strong>Post-processing Options to Get Water-resistant Parts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Post-production processes are sure ways to ensure that your parts have the necessary water resistance for service.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vapour-smoothing\"><strong>Vapour Smoothing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This process involves the blending of layers, removal of layer gaps and the tightening of the seal around the part. It is accomplished mainly by applying a solvent to a soluble print. It is worthy to note chemical solvents are somewhat peculiar to the materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This surface treatment is available for MJF and SLS technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts.jpeg\" alt=\"Vapour smoothing 3D printed parts\" class=\"wp-image-15934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts.jpeg 792w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts.jpeg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-24254\" data-caption=\"Vapour smoothed 3D printed parts\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"6><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Vapour-smoothing-3D-printed-parts.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vapour smoothed 3D printed parts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"epoxy-coating\"><strong>Epoxy Coating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Before the application of epoxy, it is vital to sand and polish the surface of the 3D part to make it as smooth as possible. This will ensure that it is properly primed for the application of the epoxy. Two-part epoxies are ideal finishing to obtain water-resistant 3D parts. The fluidity is just enough to sip into the cracks, voids, or gaps in the 3D print. The epoxy then hardens to produce a rigid layer that is water-tight.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Xometry offers not only the materials and 3D printing processes but also the post-processing operations required to produce high-quality and functional water-resistant parts.
