FROM FLAWED TO FLAWLESS | SURFACE FINISHING FOR FLAKY 3D PRINTED PARTS

Post-processing is a critical step for additively manufactured (AM) components and is required for nearly all 3D printed products. This is particularly important where the potential of flaking, shedding, or peeling can lead to life-threatening complications in high-risk medical devices such as:

•Pacemakers
•Defibrillators
•Heart valve components
•Neurostimulators
•Electrode components

To ensure safety, performance, and regulatory compliance, AM medical components require advanced surface finishing during post-processing. While processes such as heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing (HIP) can be used to improve material integrity, isotropic centrifugal barrel finishing (CBF) provides essential surface refinement as either a final step or a standalone process.

CBF enhances component performance by:

•Removing loose and partially melted powder particles
•Reducing surface irregularities that can act as crack initiation sites
•Improving fatigue life and overall mechanical performance
•Inducing beneficial compressive surface gains

Post-processing is not merely an optional step, but a fundamental requirement for ensuring safety, reliability, and performance of AM medical devices. CBF helps transform surfaces of as-built AM parts into safe, high-performance parts, helping safeguard patients in life-critical applications.

Let us show you first-hand how our finish can become your finish on your AM medical products of any material type.

THE FUTURE IS HERE | SCIENCE FICTION BECOMING REALITY

For decades, the idea of air taxis has lived on silver screens and in science fiction novels. Today, this vision is rapidly transforming from concept art to concrete reality with the evolution of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles. Recent initiatives from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA are accelerating real world testing of these futuristic aircraft, helping bring advanced air mobility and personal flight to entirely new levels.

As the first new category of aircraft in more than 80 years, eVTOL vehicles currently have zero direct operating emissions. Depending upon configuration, many eVTOL designs target ranges exceeding 100 miles and speeds above 150 mph.

While advancements in distributed electric propulsion (DEP) and battery technology are at the heart of these new vehicles, surface finishing of eVTOL components is an important role in in these aircraft by:

• Improved local airflow attachment
• Reduced profile drag on propellor and rotor blades
• Increased thrust efficiency
• Decreased turbulent boundary-layer noise
• Improve adhesion and durability of paint and coatings
• Reduce micro-crack initiation
• Extend corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments
• Make cleaning and inspection easier with reduced dirt, insect, and moisture accumulation
• Lessen stress concentrations at microscopic surface flaws

Whether part of the design or production phase, surface finishing of critical components not only improves quality and consistency; it can also reduce rework caused by aerodynamic mismatch. Surface refinements compliment aerodynamics, propulsion, acoustics, and operations making surface quality a strategic lever, not just a cosmetic one.

PEDAL TO THE METAL

Few things transport us back in time, quite like an old school BMX bike. Memories of sunshine, friendship, and freedom rush in, reminding us of a simpler era. Although we specialize in surface finishing for complex, precision engineered components across all material types, we’re occasionally asked to take on specialty projects near and dear to our customers’ hearts.

Recently, one of those customers asked us to restore and polish their retro Victor BMX pedals - and we’re proud to let the results speak for themselves…

5 FUN THINGS ABOUT BMX BIKES

1. BMX began in the late 60’s as a copy cat sport to Motorcycle Motorcross. Kids used parking lots, empty pools, and backyards to recreate tricks seen by professionals.

2. While not the 1st aluminum frame, the P.K. Ripper was introduced in 1979 and quickly became a BMX icon and is often cited as the longest-running production BMX. Modern BMX frames commonly use chromoly steel, which is strong and light weight.

3. Freestyle flatland BMX’ing is essentially breakdancing on a bike. There are 4 additional freestyle disciplines: park, street, vert, and dirt.

4. BMX was introduced in Beijing as an Olympic sport in 2008. The winners were Māris Štrombergs of Latvia for men and Anne-Caroline Chausson of France for women.

5. If you want to watch a BMX cult classic, get out your VCR and rent 1986’s Rad, staring Bill Allen. Just remember, “Be Kind, Rewind.”

The countdown is on! The team at ISO Finishing is finalizing preparations for the 2026 NSSF SHOT Show Supplier Showcase. Armed with years of experience in advanced surface finishing for the shooting sports, hunting, and military markets, ISO Finishing delivers tightly controlled, application-specific processes engineered for performance, durability, and repeatability.

As we count down to the show, here are a few fun facts about crossbows:

1.Ancient Origins
Crossbows originated in China as early as the 7th century B.C., featuring early mechanical trigger mechanisms which allowed stored elastic energy to be released with consistent force—an important step in repeatable projectile systems.

2. Hollywood Spotlight
Crossbows are frequently depicted in movies due to their mechanical simplicity, high accuracy, and low acoustic signature, making them credible both for historical weaponry and modern survival scenarios.

3. Velocity & Energy Transfer
Modern crossbows typically launch bolts at 200 to over 500 feet per second, with projectile mass playing a significant role in momentum retention, pe*******on, and downrange stability.

4. Hunting Regulations
Oregon is currently the only U.S. state to classify crossbows as illegal hunting equipment, highlighting how crossbows are treated differently from vertical bows in regulatory frameworks. Many states see crossbows as a way to accommodate hunters with physical disabilities, bringing more people to the sport.

5. Engineering Insight
Contemporary crossbows incorporate cam and pulley systems—similar to compound bows—to reshape force–draw curves, maximizing stored energy while reducing peak draw effort and improving shooter efficiency. Advances in reverse-draw design and optics with integrated range-finding capabilities have improved shooting accuracy and hunter success.
