Technology & Products
Key Products
Vibratory tumblers; Centrifugal barrel and disc finishers; Drag finishers; Magnetic pin finishers; Parts dryers and separators; Wastewater treatment systems; Tumbling media and chemistry
Technological Advantage
Proprietary high-energy centrifugal finishing processes achieve 90% faster cycle times than standard vibratory methods, with custom media and chemistry optimized for AM materials like DMLS, SLA, and FDM, protected by decades of trade secrets and process know-how.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces post-processing time by up to 90% compared to traditional vibratory tumbling with high-energy centrifugal finishing, while providing end-to-end solutions including equipment, media, process development, and wastewater treatment for consistent, high-quality surface finishes on 3D-printed parts.
How They Differentiate
Offers complete end-to-end solutions including wastewater treatment and custom process development, unlike OTEC and REM which focus primarily on equipment; 90% faster finishing with centrifugal systems vs. standard vibratory methods from competitors.
