Insights from a panel of experts on mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical post-processing. One of the great things about the AMUG conference is that it brings together experts from across the ...

Post-processing plays a pivotal role in additive manufacturing (AM) by bridging the gap between raw 3D-printed parts and their final functional forms. In AM, printed components often exhibit surface ...

Material-process compatibility for surface treatments is shown at the bottom of the matrix in Figure 18.2. As noted previously, surface finishing is more important for metals than for polymers. The ...

Part rejection due to poor surface finish is an outcome no manufacturer desires. Even if parts meet all dimensional specifications and function as intended, customers can reject them if the surface ...

Magnetic abrasive finishing encompasses a suite of high-precision processes in which abrasive particles are bound within a magnetically responsive medium and guided by controlled magnetic fields to ...

With roots that can be traced back thousands of years, the common gear remains functionally similar to its predecessors. Although there have been some variations introduced throughout the course of ...

Abrasive Finishing Processes provides a comprehensive overview of the various ways abrasives are used to deburr and improve the surface finish of manufactured parts. Abrasive finishing processes use ...

The project focuses on optimizing the finishing department to minimize production & quality losses. By reengineering the process flow, it reduces unnecessary steps and time, implementing pre-pressing ...

Vibratory finishers and mass finishing machines use loose abrasives or tumbling media combined with cleaning or polishing compounds to bulk-finish parts. A mass finishing machine or mass finisher can ...

There are so many different metal finishing processes that it can be difficult to know which is the best type for you. Do you need an anticorrosive finish, or do you just need something to make the ...
