The surface finish and post-processing treatments available to a material can influence its structural integrity and durability. For instance, materials that can be smoothly sanded or chemically smoothed (like ABS with acetone) can have enhanced aerodynamic properties and stress distribution. However, excessive post-processing might compromise the material's inherent strength, requiring a balance between aesthetic finishes and mechanical properties.
