# 3D Print Job Polishers The 'PolySmoother' Removes Rough Surfaces and More By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-01-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polysmoother References: [geeky-gadgets](https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/3d-print-polisher-14-01-2021/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+geeky-gadgets+%28Geeky+Gadgets%29) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2098899385/polysmoother-polish-your-prints-the-way-it-should) The 'PolySmoother' is an aftermarket appliance for makers who are in search of a way to finish off their [freshly printed projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2d) instead of having to perform it manually by hand. The unit works by having [finished products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotary-workshop) placed inside before being toggled on and will go to work processing them quickly to give them a truly high-quality sheen. This will help to blur out printed lines and give the items a shine that is simply not possible with many of the [3D printers on the market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapmaker-u1). The 'PolySmoother' only requires users to choose the right kind of solvent to match the model before setting the temperature and setting a timer to have the work done in an automated manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automated 3D Print Finishing:** The 'PolySmoother' device offers a disruptive innovation in automated finishing for 3D printed objects. - **Efficient 3D Print Polishing:** The 'PolySmoother' device offers a disruptive innovation in efficient polishing for 3D printed objects. - **High-quality 3D Print Finishing:** The 'PolySmoother' device offers a disruptive innovation in high-quality finishing for 3D printed objects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **3D Printing:** The 'PolySmoother' device can revolutionize the 3D printing industry by automating and streamlining the finishing process. - **Manufacturing:** The 'PolySmoother' device can provide an efficient and cost-effective way of finishing printed objects in the manufacturing industry, potentially saving time and money. - **Hardware:** The 'PolySmoother' device offers a new hardware offering in the market that can enhance and improve the quality of 3D printed objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consumer Desktop Vapor Smoothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postpro-sf2x.md) - [Moisture-Eliminating 3D Printer Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filament-dehydrator.md) - [3D-Printed Filament Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyformer.md) - [3D Printer Filament Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printer-filament-dryer.md) - [Texturized 3D UV Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufymake-uv-printer-e1.md) - [Aftermarket 3D Printer Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/co-print-chromaset.md) - [Industrial-Grade 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lcd-3d-printer.md) - [Automated Resin-Removing Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratasys-neo800-plus.md) - [Plastic-Molding Benchtop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchtop-injection-molding.md)
