Zusammenfassung:In a method for smoothing a surface region (1) of a plastic component, in particular an additively manufactured plastic component, the surface region (1) to be smoothed is remelted in an edge layer with energetic radiation. During processing with energetic radiation, one surface portion (2) of > 25 mm2 is in each case melted by the energetic radiation, thereby forming a continuous molten bath which extends over the entire surface portion (2). The method enables good smoothing results particularly in the case of additively manufactured plastic components.
