AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology, a brand of the Rösler Group, has announced the launch of its compact M1 system, setting a new benchmark for automated surface finishing of 3D-printed ...

Surface finish, or surface roughness, is a measure of the texture of a surface. The term defines the vertical deviations of a measured surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are substantial, ...

Precision machine shops that take orders involving detailed specifications with tight tolerances for critical applications have no choice but to exert complete control over every aspect of production.

Surface finishing is a vital part of many manufacturing projects. How the exterior surfaces of a part or component are made ready for use is important to the manufacturing process. Once a surface is ...

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...

Protolabs, the world’s leading digital manufacturer, has announced a major breakthrough with the launch of vapour smoothing for 3D printed parts. The post-processing automated technology is a ...

Many stainless-steel automotive parts must undergo passivation to ensure they are adequately corrosion-resistant and not prone to early failure, two factors critical for performance and a long ...

We may never know for sure who first used surfacing films for composites. Early forms were simply structural film adhesives or non-structural prepregs, laid against the mold to cover the primary ...
