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

The current state-of-the-art metal additive manufacturing (AM) process still cannot meet the
high industry requirements in terms of surface roughness. In addition, there are limited …

Additive manufacturing is an emerging technique for manufacturing complex shapes rather
than traditional manufacturing procedures due to the tool free manufacturing method. The …

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

Surface finish greatly affects the friction, wear, corrosion, heat transfer and lubrication
properties of internal surfaces which find wide applications in medical, automobile …

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

The increasing demand of the superfinished three-dimensional (3D) surfaces has stimulated
the development and upgrade of the precision polishing technology. However, current ultra …

In computer-controlled optical surfacing (CCOS) techniques, the tool influence function (TIF)
is generally assumed to be time-invariant; thus, two-dimensional convolution can be …

Surface quality is a critical factor impacting the durability and functionality of products. The
conventional method of finishing causes many manufacturing defects in the final product …

The finishing accuracy and efficiency of magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) are mainly
depending on magnetic abrasive powders (MAPs). A new kind of core–shell structured …
