2. How to do a after-treatment for metal print-out : Firing method after 3D printing
Sample should be processed in after-treatment process of drying and firing when metal
paste is still in clay condition after being printed. Process for after-treatment depending on
material is as follows;
1) Silver paste
①
Take out printed clay with the tile and dry it for 24 hours by natural drying or dry it by
warming for at least 1 hour using hair dryer or dry it by heating in the mini
toaster oven for 10 minutes in 200°C. Print-out which has been completely dried and
cooled down can be detached from the tile easily.
NOTE : Be careful that print-out which is not completely dry, might be difficult to get complete
firing and liable to crumble.
②
Put the dried print-out in the electric kiln and set temperature at 780°C and fire it for 10
minutes. Then silver clay changes into fine silver. Switch off the kiln and open the door to
cool down the heat enough before taking the print-out out of the kiln.
NOTE : Mini electric kiln which ROKIT Inc. provides or any electric kiln which can be heated up
to 980°C can be used but quality of fired output may vary depending on the kiln.
NOTE : Use tongs or wear gloves when take the sample out of the kiln to avoid scald.
③
As the surface of the print-out taken out of the kiln has binder powder on it, brush off
the surface using stainless steel brush provided in the kit box and silvery product
will be completed.
NOTE : Brush thoroughly every corner for completion.
