title = "Investigation of surface treatment methods for 3D printed optical components",
abstract = "The following proposes a method for preparing 3D printed surfaces as commercial quality optical components. Utilizing Formlabs{\textquoteright} dipping method and pulse-reverse electroplating, a surface finish of /10 can be achieved. Optical profilometry (OP) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suggest a surface quality that is comparable to the industry standard of 80 / 50. Optimization and integration of this surface treatment process as a post-printing step would enable additive manufacturing to be a feasible approach for developing optical components.",
