Problem
Traditional surface processing methods like chemical etching and media blasting can be environmentally harmful, pose health and safety risks, and lack the precision required for high-value manufacturing. Preparing composite surfaces for bonding is particularly challenging, often requiring multiple steps and generating significant waste. Additive manufacturing processes also require surface refinement to achieve desired aesthetics or performance characteristics.
Solution
TextureJet develops electrochemical jet machining (EJM) technology, branded as STAT, for precise surface processing of conductive materials, and ArcSlice technology for non-conductive composites. EJM uses a localized, unsubmerged jet delivery system for selective material removal at the atomic level, eliminating the need for masking and submerged processes. ArcSlice simplifies the processing of polymer-based composites before bonding, offering an efficient and sustainable alternative to chemical degreasing, abrasion, or peel ply. These technologies enable surface roughening, polishing, and patterning with minimal environmental impact, streamlining manufacturing processes and reducing costs.
