It’s back-to-school season, and while students are hitting the books, why not take a moment to brush up on your manufacturing knowledge? One topic that’s often overlooked outside of the engineering world is surface finishing. This is a process that can make all the difference in how a part looks, feels, and performs. At Extrude…

In industries where performance and precision go hand in hand, surface finishing is not something you can afford to overlook. Whether you manufacture aerospace components, automotive parts, or medical devices, internal surface quality matters. The good news is that abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a solution trusted by leading engineers and manufacturers worldwide. Available in…

When it comes to high-performance parts and components, surface finish can make all the difference. Whether you're in aerospace, automotive, medical, or manufacturing, achieving smooth, consistent, and precise internal surfaces is critical to performance and reliability. That’s exactly where abrasive flow machining (AFM) comes in and Extrude Hone AFM is proud to bring this advanced…

When it comes to aerospace manufacturing, there’s no room for error. From fuel systems to turbine components, every part must meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance. That’s why surface finishing plays such a vital role in the industry. Even the smallest surface irregularity can impact airflow, fatigue resistance, or structural integrity. At…

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the way we design and produce metal parts. Complex geometries, lightweight structures, and rapid prototyping are now more achievable than ever. However, while 3D printing offers incredible design freedom, it often leaves behind one major issue—rough, uneven surfaces. That’s where surface finishing comes in. At Extrude Hone AFM, we specialize in…

Fuel injectors play a vital role in how engines perform as they deliver the right amount of fuel at the right time and under the right pressure. But for all their importance, they’re only as effective as the precision of their internal flow paths. That’s where abrasive flow machining (AFM) steps in. At Extrude Hone…

In high-precision manufacturing, tool longevity can make or break your production timeline, and your bottom line. Whether you’re working with molds, dies, or cutting tools, wear and surface degradation are inevitable, but what if you could dramatically extend tool life while improving performance? At Extrude Hone AFM, we use Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) to do…

In the world of food processing, cleanliness isn’t just important. It is absolutely essential. From mixers and piping systems to valves, every component that comes into contact with food must meet strict sanitary standards. Even the smallest imperfection or surface inconsistency can lead to contamination, buildup, or bacteria growth. That’s why more manufacturers are turning…

When it comes to aerospace manufacturing, precision isn't just important. It is critical. Even the smallest imperfection in a component can lead to major performance issues or safety concerns down the line. That’s why engineers and manufacturers in the aerospace industry turn to trusted finishing solutions like abrasive flow machining (AFM). At Extrude Hone AFM,…

The aerospace industry demands precision, reliability, and innovation at every level. With aircraft operating under extreme conditions, even the smallest imperfections in a component can lead to performance issues or massive safety risks. This is where abrasive flow machining (AFM) plays a crucial role. By refining and optimizing complex internal surfaces, AFM ensures that aerospace…
