EXETER, England - A new chemical immersion treatment to enhance the surface of additive manufactured parts could revolutionize the aerospace industry. South West Metal Finishing has been working on its Almbrite™ process for the last three years and believes it could be the future choice of aircraft manufacturers around the world.
The process greatly improves the finish of components made using additive manufacturing [AM], by chemically removing material from each surface to achieve the final condition required.
