Plasma polishing

We use plasma to polish your parts

We are doing polishing differently. Our tool is a plasma and we master every aspect of it.

The technology

A revolutionary way to finish metal

Plasma polishing is a revolutionary technology for achieving best surface roughness and high-gloss surfaces. Save time, energy and money by achieving lower roughness in one environmentally friendly step. Here is how it works, and the value it brings to your products.

The approach

A cleaner, smarter approach

Today, polishing requires multiple steps to achieve the desired surface roughness. It involves manual polishing and electrochemical polishing, which uses harsh, toxic acids that are harmful to people and the environment. Plasma polishing takes a much cleaner, smarter approach.

Bath process

Plasma Polishing

During Plasma Electrolytic Polishing, the metal part is submerged in an environmentally friendly, water-based salt solution and connected to an electrical power source. This creates a thin-layer plasma around the entire surface of the part. This plasma removes all peaks and imperfections on the surface, resulting in a smooth, polished surface. We use it for simple geometry standalone or in batches.

Jet process

Jet Plasma Polishing

Taking this a step further is Jet Plasma Polishing. Instead of submerging the part in a bath, a specialised nozzle sprays a jet directly onto the specific area that needs finishing. We control the jet and plasma polish exactly where we want. This allows us to polish complex parts and cavities as well as critical areas. Combining both bath and jet, we offer the perfect all-round solution.

Our services

Where plasma polishing fits

From large surfaces to inner contours, on conventional and 3D printed parts in stainless steel, cobalt chrome, titanium, copper, brass and more.

01

Large surfaces

With PEP-Jet we polish large areas that are not possible in electrochemical or plasma electrolytic baths.

02

Local polishing and geometry preservation

The plasma jet precisely polishes targeted areas, keeping geometries and corners sharp. With a wide range of nozzles, spot sizes go from under 1 mm for fine detail work up to 30 mm for fast, large-area processing.

03

Inner contours and cavities

With the jet and selective polishing we reach areas that mechanical methods and electropolishing cannot.

04

3D printed surfaces

With PEP we polish rough printed surfaces directly to a fine finish, with no precleaning or preprocessing.
