Additive manufacturing (AM) is characterised by several unique advantages, such as
(freedom of) design, capability of fusing dissimilar materials, near-net-shape, and achieving …

Conformal cooling channels are widely adopted in the mold industry because of rapid and
uniform cooling during injection molding. These complicated cooling channel geometries …

The development of various nontraditional principles to finish the internal surfaces and
passages is reviewed. In particular, attention is focused on three relatively mature finishing …

Post-process finishing of the additively manufactured (AMed) surfaces is still a critical issue,
especially for the AMed surfaces with complex surface geometry, which largely limits the …

The poor and non-uniform surface quality of parts produced by powder bed fusion (PBF)
processes remains a huge limitation in additive manufacturing. Here we show that ultrasonic …

Surface finishing additive-manufactured (AM) internal channels is challenging. In this study,
a novel hydrodynamic cavitation abrasive finishing (HCAF) technique is proposed and its …

Fabrication freedom is provided for production of metal parts with complex geometries that
cannot be fabricated by conventional subtractive manufacturing, as rapid advancements in …

The understanding and control of wear process can result in advances in manufacturing
science. For example, Surface finishing the internal surfaces of a component built using …

The surface roughness can be considered one of the main drawbacks of the Laser Powder
Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology applied to thermal applications. Favero et al.[1] …

The topic of this paper is the application of abrasive flow machining (AFM) to gear tool
inserts polishing. Polished surface on plastic gear teeth improves surface geometry stability …
