Assessment of the texture and topographic features of a surface produced by the 3D printing process

Presented in the paper is a study of the surface texture as produced by the Up3D printer from Solveere with the printing parameters varying in relation to those of the surface under survey. Used for the measurements was optical profilometer Nanovea PS50 operating to the chromatic aberration principle. The results were used for estimation of the 3D printer output data and also for consideration whether some parts or items as released by 3D printers were practicable for use in a production process.
