What Is Centrifugal Barrel Finishing?
An alternative to vibratory finishing, centrifugal barrel finishing can surface finish 3D printed parts in significantly less time. Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly laser powder bed fusion, enables the production of complex metal parts, but it often leaves...
Additive Parts Take High-Energy Tumble for Superior Surface Finishes
While the benefits of 3D additive manufacturing are numerous, many of those using the process often fail to realize is that finishing/polishing the resulting parts can pose significant challenges. The main reason is that additive-produced part surfaces are extremely...
A Comprehensive Guide to Isotropic Finishing
Ever wondered how cutting-edge industries achieve those impeccably smooth surfaces? It’s all about the magic of isotropic finishing. This guide peels back the layers of the isotropic finishing process, revealing how it’s transforming everything from...
