As-printed Substrates Are Imperfect
Near-net as printed Dimensional changes result
from thermal effects Print artifacts such as start /
stops, flow instability and slicing issues/irregularities
Near-net as machined Voids Broken or lost beads
12
TD Coat RT Allows Rapid Low-Cost Solution To Print Defects High-build sprayable 2 component thermoset
coating formulated for adhesion to the carbon fiber filled ABS material most commonly used in BAAM printers
Spray equipment development nearly complete Adhesion testing conducted per ASTM D4541
Addresses print defects with low labor investment

TD Coat RT Sprays Easily
Sprayable on surfaces at most angles
Low sag Generally sets within
20 minutes of application

TD Coat RT Sprays Easily
15
TD Coat RT Post-Processing Options
Provides stable uniform surface while addressing many print artifacts.
Machines easily Low dust generation
Repairable
16
TD Coat RT Post-Processing Continued
Cosmetic parts will require a primer before painting for a Class-A surface
Tooling gel can be applied immediately or after machining when working with dimensional tolerance constraints
17
TD Coat RT Fits Into Existing Workflows
Additively manufactured tools seamlessly fit into existing shop work flow keeping current mold maintenance processes unchanged.
Repairs to tool surface are standard no special steps are required
