UNTOUCHED by human hands… almost. Here is a batch of our little Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing Lab bottle openers after effortless polishing. The top picture is straight off the machine, and the bottom picture is after centrifugal isotropic finishing. Other than breaking them off the build platform, and transferring them from one barrel of media to another, there was almost no other handling involved.

The Process: Achieving a polish on a 3D Printed part depends greatly on the material and the initial roughness and scale left over from the printing process. On relatively clean (no heavy heat scale or atmospheric discoloration) titanium or stainless steel 3D printed parts with an initial surface roughness of 300-400 micro-inch Ra here is a typical example process that is used with Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Machines.:
Step One: Heavy grinding with aggressive plastic or ceramic media for 60 – 90 minutes
Step Two: Pre-Polish with lighter plastic for 30 Minutes
Step Three: High Polish with dry corn cob polishing media or porcelain for 30 Minutes
Total process time Two Hours (Not including loading) Continue reading High-Speed and Hands-Free Post-Process Surface Finishing of 3D Printed or Additive Manufactured Parts

The mechanism that allows for improved “functionality” for all surfaces is basic to surface performance —to accept the loads imposed and resist wear. Traditional processes that generate form and control fit do not necessarily dictate how that part or assembly will function over time. In recent years, it has been realized that there is another contributor to long term part performance—surface finish. If a manufacturer does not account for surface finish characteristics like lube retention, micro burr removal, identification of torn and folded material, directionality, and load-bearing capability, the performance of components in the system cannot be predicted. High-energy finishing processes can also contribute to more predictable and extended service life by developing useful and uniform compressive stress equilibrium in parts as a hedge against premature fatigue failure.

Continue reading Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Technology: The machines
These machines are typically made up of four individual barrels (or drums) mounted on the outer edge of a turret. The turret is rotated in one direction, causing the barrels to rotate in the opposite direction creating very high G-forces or pressures, as well as considerable media sliding action within the drums.
