3D Print Post-Process, Where To Go

Though 3D printing have obvious advantage on high speed, low cost, complex design,  most of the printers them looked cheaper. In order to solve this problem, the 3D print post-process appear in use FDM technology, the surface is hard to avoid rough which make the market. At present, there are three main ways： process by hand, process by professional machine, improve 3D filament or add post-process functions into 3D printer.    
Process by hand is always the fist choice for hobbyists, there is no question for market elimination, but it’s an issue for the post-process of industrial. 3D post-process have to make the choice about becoming an independent industrial or blending into 3D print industrial.

Become An Independent Industrial. 
The potential is huge for becoming an independent industrial for 3D post-process, and it’s a tendency as well.
On April, an NY 3D post-process company Postprocess got 4 billion dollars investment, they said it will be used for studying the post-process technology including software, hardware and chemicals. Actually Postproces already have few post-process machines, it helps them get many clients from aerospace, auto industrial, national defense, and even consumer goods. There is no doubt, the prosperous development of Postproces is relate to the progress of 3D post-process market closely.
Blend into 3D Print Industrial 
Though 3D post-process company and business are becoming more and more popular, some 3D printer manufacturers are planing to skip this step or add additional post-process function into 3D printer to avoid this process immediately.    
Last July, a desktop 3D printer named RizeOne tried to use the technology to enhance polymer sediment. It can make the prints more balance and 2 times hardness than FDM printing. It also has other ways to avoid post-process after printing. The print is high-end quality and no need post-process.
Besides, some companies are trying to improve the filament. On March 2016, the 3D printer manufacture TypeAMachines present a new series 3D filaments, called ProMatte. The filament have matte process function, it can cover the texture to skip post-process.
So far as the stand, 3D post-process is a tendency to become an independent industrial area, it’s industrial prototype stages. At the same time, the way to add post-process function into 3D printer or improve filament is appeared but few company to do this. Above all, we can make a brief conclusion: before the 3D printing technology become high-end, we can say that 3D post-process will still grow and develop fast as an independent industrial.
