Benefits
Enhances Print Quality
- Drying hygroscopic filaments prevents bubbles, holes, and poor layer bonding, resulting in a smooth, high-quality finish.
Increases Print Success Rate
- Moisture removal reduces inconsistent flow, minimizing print defects like under- or over-extrusion, stringing, and oozing, leading to fewer failed prints.
Keeps Filaments Print-Ready
- Properly dried and stored filaments eliminate pre-print drying steps, allowing you to start printing immediately and save valuable time.
Ensures Dimensional Accuracy
- By drying filaments, you maintain the material's original shape, reducing warping and ensuring precise, accurate prints.
Improves Mechanical Strength
- Dry filaments provide stronger layer adhesion, leading to prints with enhanced durability and structural integrity.
Why Anneal 3D Printed Parts?
Improves Mechanical Properties
Annealing involves heating 3D printed parts to a controlled temperature and then gradually cooling them. This process releases internal stresses that can lead to warping and distortion, helping the part maintain its dimensional accuracy. Additionally, annealing enhances inter-layer bonding, resulting in improved tensile strength, durability, and overall functionality.
Enhances Thermal Stability
Annealing also increases a part's resistance to high temperatures by altering its crystalline structure. This makes the material less prone to deformation under heat, allowing it to retain mechanical properties in fluctuating or extreme temperature environments. As a result, annealed parts exhibit enhanced long-term durability and performance in demanding applications.
