Zusammenfassung: | The present disclosure relates to a device for smoothing of 3D-printed products made by additive manufacturing process, in particular of styrene, comprising specialized modules for providing particular functions, that enables control of process parameters, including a working chamber for receiving the products to be processed. A method for solvent vapor smoothing of a surface of a plastic product by: placing the plastic product to be smoothed in a closed chamber (110) having heated walls (112-116) and an evaporator (111) for solvent; introducing (504) a solvent to the evaporator (111); allowing (506) the solvent vapors to condense on the outer surface of the product; and heating at least one wall (112-116) of the chamber (110), collecting solvent vapors from the chamber (110) and condensing the collected solvent vapors outside the chamber (110). |
