FIAMME: Finishing processes for additive manufactured metal components

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

The FIAMME project consisted in developing a surface finishing process that could be effective on additively manufactured (AM) components with complex geometries. AM parts can reach average roughness (Ra) values up to 100 µm, which strongly affects the possible application of the component. The team focused on the surface finishing of internal mini-channels of an
