A method to achieve high-resolution modeling with FDM.
No additional processing, thin layer molding, compatible with 0.2mm nozzle POTICON filament.
With FDM 3D printers, it is now possible to achieve such high-resolution modeling. In this video, we thoroughly examined how much precision, strength, and design quality can be enhanced using Otsuka Science's POTICON filament, which can be finished with zero post-processing. The first major point is that "no post-processing is required." In typical FDM printing, polishing or post-processing is often necessary to eliminate surface irregularities and layer lines, but all samples in this case are as printed. Despite not being sanded afterward, they achieve a very smooth and uniform surface quality. This is due to the unique material properties of POTICON filament and the combination of appropriate nozzle diameter and layer settings. Another noteworthy point is the ability to stack with thin layers. The samples introduced in the video were printed with only the first layer on the build plate and then removed as is, and even at this stage, they are already finished with high precision. Based on this thinness and uniformity, stacking the second and third layers allows for high-resolution modeling that is hard to believe is FDM.
basic information
Additionally, it is characterized by its ability to accommodate thin nozzle diameters (such as 0.2mm). Typically, using a thinner nozzle poses challenges related to insufficient strength, but the ultra-fine fiber called "TISMO" included in POTICON filament resolves this issue. Since it contains fibers finer than carbon fiber, sufficient strength can be ensured even when printing with thin layers and fine nozzles. The video also showcases examples of precision parts such as tiny screws and gears, allowing for a concrete understanding of the possibilities in fine printing. Moreover, it is noteworthy that many actual users who have adopted this material have compared it with the carbon fiber materials they previously used and chose POTICON filament based on that comparison. It has received high praise, especially from users seeking fine details, due to its excellent balance of design, strength, and precision. The ability to achieve the often-cited challenge of "balancing design and strength" without post-processing is a significant attraction. For those who want to "reduce post-processing," "maintain strength even with fine nozzles," and "emphasize design even in FDM," this information will be very helpful.
