Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the best Rapid Prototyping Processes proved to be. Many researchers have produced a lot of work using the FDM process and many papers were published. Many researchers have concentrated on optimizing the parameters to obtain higher surface finish. Burnishing is one of the processes used to get higher surface finish on light metals. The present paper deals with the application of burnishing process on the samples fabricated with FDM. The burnishing process is applied on the samples at different speeds and the surface finish results are recorded in the present experimentation.
