In high-value, precision manufacturing, surface finishing is often underestimated. Yet edge finishing alone can account for up to 30% of part costs — and in some industries, rejects and rework linked to this stage make up 5% of overall manufacturing costs.
The challenge? Legacy methods like manual or automated brushing can’t consistently deliver the precision, repeatability, or sustainability today’s industries demand.
That’s why we’re pioneering smarter, cleaner alternatives. Our research into electrochemical jet machining (ECJM) shows it delivers up to 4× greater precision than manual brushing — with a safer, more sustainable process.
Our CEO, Jonathan Mitchell-Smith, recently spoke with The Manufacturer about why surface processing is becoming central to the future of precision engineering:
“Surface finishing might sound like the final detail, but in reality it’s one of the most critical – and costly – stages in high-value manufacturing.
Poorly controlled edges can compromise safety, shorten product lifespans, and drive up rework and scrap rates.
That’s why I believe the industry needs to take a fresh look at how we approach surface processing. Smarter, cleaner, and more precise alternatives are already emerging, offering not just better part performance but also safer working environments and more sustainable production.”
