Popis: Although 3D printers are already widely used in a variety of contexts, their profile in the manufacturing industry is only likely to grow. End-use items for 3D prototype devices, which utilize additive manufacturing technology because of their production structure, still need to be developed. This research shows how to improve the surface quality of ABS material items made with 3D printers by physically etching the layer traces on the surfaces using a chemical solution. The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the machine's electronic and mechanical components. The mechanical system and the sensor equipment have been constructed with multiple options in mind to ensure optimal performance of the system. This instrument allowed researchers to see how varying the parameters of chemical abrasives affected the surface. It is also highlighted how the values of surface roughness of 3D-printed goods can vary greatly depending on the conditions of temperature, pressure, and time. The purpose of this research is to mitigate the drawbacks of using 3D printers for prototyping in various industries in order to gradually lower the surface roughness value.
