Surface Polishing of Additively Manufactured Aluminum-Based Components

Aluminum Additive Manufacturing allows for rapid printing, reduced lead times, and complex designs and features not possible with traditional manufacturing methods. As-printed AM components inherently have rough surface textures that cause component failure and inhibit implementation. Our technology is working to resolve these defects on Aluminum components.
