Bead Blasting

Bead blasting in 3D printing is a surface finishing technique that involves propelling small, abrasive beads at high velocity onto the surface of a printed metal part to clean, smooth or texturize it. Bead blasting can reach intricate details and hard-to-reach areas, providing a consistent finish that enhances the aesthetics of the part and improves the surface adhesion of subsequent coatings or treatments.
