Examples of applications surface grinding and polishing

This is what our bottle opener should look like when it is 3D printed.

We have selected our high-speed centrifugal systems for processing this bottle opener.

Before processing

Processed with walnut granulate and various compounds. To achieve a mirror finish on the surface, several polishing cycles in a high-speed centrifugal system are necessary. It can be between 3 and 5 cycles, depending on the desired result and surface condition before processing.

Task: Removing milling stripes and polising

We processed the titanium component in 2 cycles of 60 minutes each. First the component was grinded from milling stripes. The polishing was then carried out in the 2nd cycle. The processing took place in one of our high speed centrifugal systems, a combination of wet and dry processes.

Task: a matt gloss should be created

The processing was carried out in the dry process in a round vibration system, using special media in nugget form. The peculiarity of these media lies in the fact that the surface is matt and has a beautiful shine, satin.

Before / after view

The acrylic components were processed with our special nuggets for satinizing surfaces. Processing is possible in all common grinding systems. It is a dry process.

Stripes are clearly visible

Grinding and polishing in 2 cycles, wet process.

Burrs are clearly visible

Depending on the thickness of the material, alloy and size of the component, different grinding medias were used, differing in shape and composition.
