  1. Finishing SLA

  2. Priming SLA • It is advisable to spray a thin base-coat on the prototype part before sanding • Give the part an even colour, reveal the unevenness, holes, cracks and other surface defects which are difficult to spot • Act as a marker so that in subsequent sanding, it is easy to visualise which areas had been sanded • Reveal contaminations such as uncured resin on the part

  3. Can Spray Demonstration

  4. Sanding • Sandpaper is a form of paper where an abrasive material has been fixed to its surface; it is part of the "coated abrasives" family of abrasive products • Used to remove small amounts of material from surfaces, either to make them smoother (painting and wood finishing), to remove a layer of material (e.g. old paint), or sometimes to make the surface rougher (e.g. as a preparation to gluing) • Waterproof or wet/dry sandpapers use a resin bond and a waterproof backing Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper

  5. Grit size refers to the size of the particles of abrading materials embedded in the sandpaper ISO 6344 is an international standard covering the materials sizes and tests regarding sandpaper and other similar coated abrasives. It has three parts: ISO 6344-1:1998: Coated abrasives, sizes and tests ISO 6344-2:1998: Macrogrit, P12 to P220 ISO 6344-3:1998: Microgrit, P240 to P2500 Grit Size

  6. Grit Designation

  7. Use #60 to #100 for material removal Use a rigid sanding block whenever possible Wrap the paper around half-round or round sanding-block to shape concave surfaces Dry or wet sand Use the hand to feel the surfaces Material removal

  8. Face by face • From large face to small • From flat face to pronounce • Keep small protrusion and fillets untouched

  9. Use chisels to clean negative sharp corners

  10. Change to #200 - #400 paper The base-coat will be removed gradually to reveal body material The target is to ‘replace’ previous coarse sandpaper strokes with finer strokes The progress will be fast at the beginning and will slow down when the surf Sanding finishes

  11. A: Thoroughly sanded away all previous strokes B: Leave a trace of previous strokes C: Change sandpaper pre-maturely D: Use finish sanding to ratify unevenness of C Progressive Sanding A B C D

  12. Spray Painting • Adjustment • Cleaning before spray • Types of paint • Paint mixing • Sequencing the strokes • Spraying direction and movement • Cleaning after spray • Drying
