In this study, a novel low-cost polishing process is applied on the surface of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) products. The developed polishing technique impinges a jet of hot air exit from a nozzle to FDM surfaces. The hot air locally melts the staircase on the surface and leaves it smoother by the effect of sintering phenomenon. Accordingly, the process introduces three main parameters: air jet...
