Extrude Hone’s finishing solutions for the additive industry at Rapid + TCT

Focusing on supporting innovative AM manufacturing, Extrude Hone ensures the utmost performance of your AM components.

Aware of the delicate balance between precision, cleanliness, and functionality, our advanced finishing solutions seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology and practicality to address the specific challenges that AM parts bring.

Our Abrasive Flow Machining solution remains the most effective way to improve your AM parts. It also provides finishing at an affordable cost per part, compared to competitive solutions that would do the job but at a much higher price.

Central to Extrude Hone’s offerings are technologies that redefine the AM landscape. We significantly enhance surface roughness by a factor of 10, eliminating residual particles. Our Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) and MICROFLOW technologies excel in processing hidden areas and intricate designs, contributing to quality and productivity.

Based on AFM, MICROFLOW treats channels with a diameter as small as 40 µm, well below AM requirements, aligning with the precision needed for small holes in nozzles.

Some Extrude Hone’s proven solutions

Conformal cooling channels

AFM is efficacious in improving the conformal cooling channel’s roughness. It is among the few techniques suitable and best for finishing internal surfaces.

Vanes and impellers

Extrude AFM delivers improved surface roughness by a factor of 10 for vanes and impellers made by AM, contributing to superior flow efficiency.

Waveguides

Electromagnetic performances from AM waveguides are increased when AFM finishes internal surfaces. dia.

Manifolds

AFM enhances high-purity manifolds in the semiconductor industry; their intricate channels with organic design are perfectly suitable for abrasive media. dia.
