METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVING SURFACE FINISH OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED PARTS

A method of altering an additively manufactured part (101; 201) can include orienting a surface (106) of the additively manufactured part (101; 201) toward a rotational center that may be independent of a rotational axis defined by the additively manufactured part (101; 201), flowing an abrasive med...

Zusammenfassung:A method of altering an additively manufactured part (101; 201) can include orienting a surface (106) of the additively manufactured part (101; 201) toward a rotational center that may be independent of a rotational axis defined by the additively manufactured part (101; 201), flowing an abrasive media past the surface (106), rotating the additively manufacturing part (101; 201) about the rotational center; urging abrasive particles in the abrasive media past the surface abrasive media to impinge the surface with centrifugal force generated by the rotating, and improving surface finish of the surface (106).
