B. POLISHING
1. If any rough marks are left on the printed part surface after support removal,
smooth down the support surfaces with a bur and handpiece to improve
surface finish.
2. If needed, polish the printed parts using typical polishing methods. Make sure to
verify the suitability of the polished printed material for the intended purpose.
