Revolutionizing additive manufacturing: Extrude Hone unveils advanced solutions

With a focus on surface and flow improvement, our advanced technologies have gained recognition for their impact on both outer surfaces and inner channels.

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 AFM and MICROFLOW technologies excel in processing hidden areas and intricate designs, contributing to quality and productivity.

Customized solutions: tailored excellence.

Extrude Hone stands out by tailoring solutions to diverse application needs. Engaging in discussions with customers during building strategy establishment is crucial, as it impacts post-processing. Balancing build and post-processing times optimally reduces costs per part.

Recognizing industry demands, Extrude Hone believes combining multiple post-processing technologies is the key to addressing challenging applications. Our goal is to find the optimal synergy between each method’s unique benefits.

Meet us at AM Forum Berlin in the Catering Salon, where Ralf Krieger, Regional Sales Manager for Europe, will showcase our groundbreaking technologies. Explore firsthand how Extrude Hone aligns with the forum’s emphasis on advancing additive manufacturing and fostering meaningful industry collaborations.

Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM)

Abrasive Flow Machining excels in smooth polishing and edge rounding, offering a tenfold improvement in surface smoothness compared to initial roughness. 

Ideal for the Medical, Aerospace, Energy, and Formula 1 industries, AFM enables :

  • improved surfaces improve flow quality. Better surfaces generate less turbulence, which improves component efficiency, particularly in the semiconductor, energy, aerospace, and motorsport sectors.
  • improved surfaces enhance fatigue resistance. Extrude Hone’s advanced surface solutions address defects in high-stress applications, such as structural components and engines for the aerospace industry, and orthopedic components for the medical sector.
  • elimination of partially sintered materials in 3D printing. Extrude Hone processes are efficient and prevent the detachment of particles during a product’s life cycle, which can be particularly damaging in the case of hydraulic components and medical implants.

 

MICROFLOW

Rooted in AFM, MICROFLOW handles channels as small as 40µm in diameter, far below the AM requirements, aligning with the precision required for small holes in nozzles.

 

Thermal deburring (TEM)

Thermal deburring efficiently removes support structures in metal 3D printing, ensuring stress-free, accurate, and complex parts. Combining Advanced TEM Processes with engineered support structures allows simultaneous removal in seconds, even in inaccessible areas.

 

Electrochemical Machining (ECM)

Electrochemical Machining tackles challenges in conventional machining for intricate designs. ECM solutions integrate shaping and surface improvement operations in a one-step process, going beyond the Static Method with Dynamic ECM.
