Sandpaper is a kind of hard paper with sand or another abrasive stuck to it, which is helpful in polishing surfaces. In ATL labs, it can be used to polish surfaces of 3D models generated through 3D printers or ply or wood materials after cutting them.
How to use
Hold the sandpaper from the plain side, and then run the other side on the material that you want to make smooth. Rub and change its position accordingly to give the shape and smoothness as required.
Some example tasks that students can try out in the ATL Lab
1. Create a 3D model and smoothen it out using sandpaper.
2. Get some plywood and smoothen it out using sandpaper.
Common applications
1. Polish rough surfaces
2. Smoothen the finish of a 3D printed objects
