Login with my Xometry account Letters in MJF 3D Printing After Steam Smoothing
Hello!
I am designing a part for MJF 3D printing that contains letters and is subjected to steam smoothing. I was fluctuating between raised and embossed letters to ensure legibility and aesthetics. The letters are about 7-8 mm high and the lines of the font are 1.5-2 mm thick. Which approach – raised or embossed – preserves readability more effectively after steam smoothing, as it could affect the edges of the letters? I would appreciate insights into the best strategies/tips.
Thank you!
Hello Tilmann 98,
Thank you very much for your question and even more so, for your activity and contributing your knowledge on our platform!!
The proportion of depth/height to width is somewhat unusual and despite the fact that we would prefer to vape with medium strength, I would prefer the raised text.
Here is a good example of the behaviour of sharpness in inscriptions
