What can sandblasting be used for?

Sandblasting can remove paint, rust, and residue from oxidation from materials quickly and efficiently. Sandblasting can also be used to change the condition of a metal’s surface, such as through removing scratches or casting marks. Sandblasting as a cleaning method has been widely used for over a hundred years.

Can you sandblast hard plastic?

Plastics are good thermal insulators. So even though you’re spraying them with air, they are likely to build up enough heat to melt, burn, and warp if you’re not careful. Protip: if you’re 3d printering, avoid sandblasting PLA. It’s extremely hard, impact resistant, and has a miserably low meltpoint.
