Draft Smoothing Draft smoothing is a technique used in 3D printing to refine the appearance of draft-mode prints, where the primary goal is speed rather than surface quality. By applying post-processing methods like sanding, chemical smoothing, or applying a surface coating, users can enhance the aesthetic appeal of rough prints. Some advanced slicers include features to partially smooth transitions between layers or reduce visible layer lines in draft-mode settings. While it’s not a replacement for high-detail printing, draft smoothing is a cost-effective way to improve prototypes or functional parts quickly. |
