In this episode, the hosts, Justin and Dustin, discuss the importance of considering factors like time, cost, and quality when deciding on the finishing of 3D printed parts. They introduce Paul DeWys, the owner and sales engineer of Forerunner 3D, a service bureau in western Michigan. Paul shares the background of his company's transition from SLA to HP MJF printing and the challenges they faced with limited color options. He explains how they discovered and adopted Cerakote, a ceramic-based coating from the firearms industry, for 3D printed parts. The discussion emphasizes the balance between achieving a perfect finish and meeting the practical needs of customers who prioritize functionality over aesthetics.
