Abstract

Cellular adhesion on surface structures from PA 2200 made through Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process can be improved by modifying the parts surface. In this paper, different methods for surface modification are presented. The PA 2200 samples were immersed in six different solvents. SEM images and surface roughness tests were performed in order to evaluate the surface modification both for the control group and for the tested groups. The obtained results clearly show that there is a significant difference between the roughness of the control (untreated) surface and each of the treated surfaces. Modifying by immersion, of the PA 2200 structures produced by Selective Laser Sintering process, brings original approaches concerning the use of those procedures in the increase of the surfaces quality.
