Unlock Superior Surface Finishes for Metal AM Parts

The Definitive Benchmark Study for Dimensional Accuracy, Roughness, and More Across Key AM Metals.

Tired of relying on supplier-reported numbers and inconsistent data?

Choosing the right surface finish is critical, but a lack of objective data leads to costly mistakes. Does that sound familiar?

Make your next post-processing decision with confidence. The Additive Manufacturing Surface Finishing Study from Fraunhofer IAPT provides an objective, data-driven comparison of the most relevant surface finishing processes, saving you time, money, and costly trial-and-error.

 

Insights to be gained:
 

  • What surface properties can be achieved with which post-processing method
  • What are strengths and limitations of the most market relevant post-processing methods
  • How suitable are the post-processing methods for different AM materials
  • What are price ranges of the post-processing methods and their major cost drivers
