On this edition of 30 on 3D, Eric Alexander, Application Engineer, explains how to use the Print-on-Tray feature in GrabCAD Print Pro to print exceptionally smooth surface finishes.
Print-on-Tray enables users to print directly on the tray or with support/pedestal between the tray and the part such as glass or carbon fiber, resulting in an adaptive surface finish. Printing on glass allows the PolyJet part to have a perfectly clean and smooth surface finish with no need for post-processing. Print designs directly onto the tray as well for hyper-realistic prototypes.
It’s particularly effective for prototyping and producing end-use parts in industries like consumer electronics, signage, or packing because it offers on-demand customization where traditional production of the same parts would be much higher. Print-on-Tray works best for short production runs and cost efficiency, a game-changer for modern manufacturing.
