Hey guys,<\/p>\n

I hope you are enjoying the 3D printed Glazed Ceramics<\/a> so far. Along with my goal to give Shapeways more smooth and shiny products, we’ve also been working with our 3D printed Stainless Steel<\/a> production partners to come up with some tips<\/a> on how to ensure your pieces gets a better polished feel. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nSee above for polished (left) and unpolished (right)<\/p>\n

We scrounged together a few tips, as well as some numbers to keep in mind when you engrave or emboss details. Please visit the Stainless Steel Polishing Design Rules<\/a> page for more information. As always, remember to check the Stainless Steel design rules<\/a> before designing to raise the printability of your design.<\/p>\n

Happy creating!
