Metallization offers improvement in the surface roughness, geometric conformance, and mechanical behavior_x000D_
of the printed parts. However, currently very less is known about the key process parameters for metallization_x000D_
of 3D printed parts. The behavior of these 3D printed parts deviates from the conventional metallization of_x000D_
injection molded part due to different surface finishes as well as different material properties. This project will_x000D_
identify the critical parameters that influence the metallization/casting of the 3D printed thermoplastics as well_x000D_
