Extrude Hone GmbH
Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) for various applications With the AFM method, we can deburr, generate radius, polish and condition the interior of intricate passageways. With years of experience of having worked closely with customers across industry sectors, Extrude Hone ensures quality of the highest standard
while providing solutions to meet customers’ performance needs. With Microflow offering, the company can meet flow requirement needs when the passageways are very small. With more and more industries adopting 3D printing / ALM as part of their regular production methodologies,
ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING ECM
Extrude Hone GmbH
COOLPULSE Technology – Evolution in Electrochemical Machining (ECM) COOLPULSE is an enhanced surface finishing technology from Extrude Hone which was especially invented for surface finishing of metal 3D printed parts and removal of micro burrs from conventionally manufactured components. Especially for applications in the
field of additive manufacturing the technology offers a very economical way of processing and refining the very rough surfaces as it comes out of the printers. In conjunction with a new tool design and manufacturing concept, this technology meets all
one of the main challenges faced by customers is the post polishing needs of the components. This has further opened the market for AFM technology where it has been successfully used by some large market players for surface refinement of 3D printed components. ‹

requirements for fast reaction times and flexibility. With this solution the company offers full cycle of services - this includes optimization of part design for achieving best results after the surface finishing, tool design plus manufacturing, contract shop, and capital equipment. Starting with the customer providing a 3D model of the part, continuing with provision of all necessary design data in a format which a standard 3D printer can read, and uploading process parameter remotely through Extrude Hone Connect we fully keep the digital chain. ‹

areas of components you can`t reach with conventional machining technologies or simply mirror your cathode geometry to the parts surface. Combining the advantages of dynamic ECM with the advanced features of Extrude Hone’s new HPG generators allows to apply different steps to processes to achieve high quality results at reasonable cycle times. ‹

ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING ECM
Extrude Hone GmbH
Shaping and creating of 3D geometries with Dynamic ECM (Electrochemical Machining) Dynamic ECM is an ECM method which follows the same principle of anodic metal dissolution. The major difference to static ECM is that an axis movement with a defined feed rate is applied to the cathode (tool). Using high frequent

pulse patterns combined with a precise and customized tooling it is possible to drive the cathode with feed rates between 2 – 5 mm/min. This opens completely new fields of application for ECM. You can create cross holes on areas on internal
