Surface roughness refers to the fine texture of a part’s surface. Every manufactured part’s surface has three main components—form, waviness, and roughness—that influence how well a part performs. The ...

Surface roughness is referred to as a series of microscopic geometric features of tiny valleys and peaks of different spacings and heights that are typically arranged in a non-deterministic way on a ...

Surface roughness influences many mechanical properties, including friction and adhesion, surface reactivity, semiconductor substrate quality, and surface interaction with electromagnetic waves, ...

Researchers using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified aerothermal flaws in jet engine turbine blades that conventional simulation methods could not detect. The ...

Scientists from the University of Freiburg, Germany, and the University of Pittsburgh have developed a software platform that facilitates and standardizes the analysis of surfaces. The ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

A research team proposes spectral extrapolation to recover determine surface roughness metrics on laser powder bed fusion parts from limited measurements, promising faster quality assurance for AM ...

The SJ-220 portable surface roughness measuring instrument has touchscreen and wireless capabilities. The intuitive touchscreen has a user interface that supports fingertip operations, including flick ...

Just when you think you’ve learned all the latest 3D printing tricks, [TenTech] shows up with an update to their Fuzzyficator post-processing script. This time, the GPL v3 licensed program has gained ...
