Project Background
ActOn has recently had the opportunity to develop a finishing process for an additive manufacturing company, that builds 3D parts for a wide array of engineering sectors.
The client enquired as to whether we could find a suitable process that would bring a high polished and smooth finish to one side of the component whilst leaving the other untouched.
The Problem
The entire component is built via additive manufacturing and it includes a 3D mesh. Hence whilst the front side appears smooth the back of the Inconel component would comprise of a very fine mesh with numerous gaps. Therefore, the mesh side of the part must be completely covered to an air tight tolerance during any mass finishing process. This ensures that no lodgement of media can contaminate the mesh side and no impingement occurs on the structural integrity of the wheel.
