With FDM 3D printers, it is now possible to achieve such high-resolution modeling. In this video, we thoroughly examined how much precision, strength, and design quality can be enhanced using Otsuka Science's POTICON filament, which can be finished with zero post-processing. The first major point is that "no post-processing is required." In typical FDM printing, polishing or post-processing is often necessary to eliminate surface irregularities and layer lines, but all samples in this case are as printed. Despite not being sanded afterward, they achieve a very smooth and uniform surface quality. This is due to the unique material properties of POTICON filament and the combination of appropriate nozzle diameter and layer settings. Another noteworthy point is the ability to stack with thin layers. The samples introduced in the video were printed with only the first layer on the build plate and then removed as is, and even at this stage, they are already finished with high precision. Based on this thinness and uniformity, stacking the second and third layers allows for high-resolution modeling that is hard to believe is FDM.

In this video, we will introduce the technology for 3D printing high-temperature engineering plastics such as PEEK and PPS with exceptional precision, along with examples of their print quality. Generally, materials reinforced with CF (carbon fiber) or GF (glass fiber) are high-strength and high-rigidity but have lower sliding properties, raising concerns about friction and wear. However, the "POTICON filament" we are discussing achieves high sliding properties, providing significant advantages in applications involving friction loads, such as gears, sliding components, and tool mechanisms. Additionally, the video will provide a detailed explanation of how the design incorporates the contact surface with the build plate. Understanding the characteristic of the printed surface transferring the texture of the build plate, we will discuss which side should be the bottom surface and the design philosophy to balance appearance and functionality. You will also see the reasons why complex shapes like tool heads can be printed with fine details, along with tips for enhancing surface quality.
