Post-Treatment Methods in Additive Manufacturing: A Review of Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, and Hybrid Approaches
Abstract: Additive manufacturing, particularly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has become a cornerstone of rapid prototyping and functional part production due to its accessibility and material versatility. However, the inherent layer-by-layer nature of FDM introduces surface roughness, reduced mechanical strength, and anisotropic behavior, which limit its industrial applications. This literature review investigates the impact of chemical post-processing treatments such as solvent vapor smoothing, immersion, and hybrid chemical-thermal methods on the surface quality …

Effect of Steam Flash Explosion Conditions on Preparation of Reed Pulp
Abstract: The effects of different steam explosion conditions on preparation of reed pulp by steam flash explosion were analyzed. Because the main factors affecting steam explosion are steam pressure, retention time and liquid-to-reed ratio, so that the effects of these conditions on the steam explosion pretreated reed straw, and constituent of reed pulp were analyzed. Reed straw samples, 2~3cm in length, were loaded into a 5L stainless steel reactor and treated …
