Fine layer transitions may remain visible, particularly on curved surfaces, sloped faces, rounded corners and large smooth areas.<\/p>\n<p>Layer lines may become more noticeable under strong side lighting, close-up photography or certain viewing angles.

Sanding Scratches and Gloss Variation<\/h3>\n<p>Sanding is an abrasive process. Fine scratches, sanding lines and directional marks may remain, especially on flat surfaces or parts viewed under strong lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Different areas of the same part may also have different levels of gloss. One area may appear smooth or slightly reflective, while another looks matte, dull or cloudy.
