Dear Chang-Shik,Min;
The quality of surface finnish of RP parts is basically limited by the
thickness of
the layers used in building them. I would suggest that you consider a
Sanders
machine because it is capable of producing a very small layer thickness.

Still this would NOT give you a "polished" surface, i.e.: better than 32
RMS.

Best Regards
