Industrializing 3D printing finishing requires a transition from inefficient air blasting to automated wheel technology. A technical process review to recover hidden shop margins and stabilize production quality.

Shot peening combined with industrial administration brings profit. This technical analysis explores how to use LEAN manufacturing to measure KPIs like peening intensity and exposure time without compromising production quality, grounding theoretical engineering into a controllable and profitable mass production process.

Technical OPEX analysis for HP MJF and 3d printing. Comparison of Manual vs. Wheel Blasting costs ($5.12 vs $0.26). Data-driven guide to industrial scalability in the finishing area.

Printing is only 50% of the task. Moving from manual laboratory cleaning to automated surface engineering is essential to protect margins and meet nominal design parameters in HP MJF and general 3D production.

Why my cycle timing has been increased in the blaster? Assuming nothing else changed and parts are loaded accordingly with the best practice for your specific task:, Wheel Blaster : it may be media missing inside the machine. You can check the Amps, to variate is normal within a gap plus/minus 1; bigger gaps require further checks; if Amps are lower than expected you need to add new media, if wheel Amps are consistent you should check the media mix, maybe too dusty, settling

Looking at shotpeening as business resource, a profit driver. From a 15% reduction in raw material costs to a 3x increase in product lifetime: here is why you need surface engineering. Seriously.

ean Manufacturing analysis of 10-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) across Wheel Blasting, Laser, Air, and Chemical cleaning technologies. Based on field-collected data for a benchmark of 10,000 molds/year, this analysis quantifies the impact of cleaning efficiency by TCO A data-driven guide for standardizing mold shop operations and hedging against rising energy and labor costs.

In precision surface treatment, the machine is only as good as the material flowing through it. If you are consuming more than 1 kg per hour per wheel, you don't have a supplier problem—you have a process crisis. An essential analysis of TCO, Lean logic, and the 'band-aid paradox' for CxOs and Plant Managers

Can a minor department like the mold shop hide a $2M loss? This technical analysis breaks down the P&L of a 100M glass plant, revealing how mold erosion and maintenance inefficiency can burn over 10% of your EBITDA. Discover how to recover these margins through field-collected data and the "1-1" media consumption rule.

Is your surface treatment a black hole? Technical review on how Lean Engineering protects EBITDA by optimizing the cleaning of expensive assets, like glass molds (or moulds) and extrusion dies.
