Create 1.0 – Slice for Surface Finish

Print Created by: Joel Hrachovec

B9Creations Smooth Surface Finish

Driven by user feedback, the new Surface Finish software feature augments the exceptional print speed and crisp detail of the B9 Core Series with remarkable smoothness that reduces post-processing time. Ideal for when a flawless finish is a must, Surface Finish was designed for making master molds or unique pieces requiring a superior finish.

Comparing Figure 3 to 4, the surface of the print becomes much smoother in Figure 4 where surface finished was applied.
