Taking a Closer Look

Utilizing interferometry and user-friendly Mx software, the NewView™ 9000:

  • Creates 2D and 3D visualization on a broad range of surface types to measure surface finish, roughness and topography
  • Captures up to 1.9 million data points in seconds
  • Scans with sub-nanometer precision
  • Allows for multiple data analysis options for even sloped and angled surfaces

BEFORE & AFTER

Hockey Gloves

Additive Manufacturing, Specialty Solutions | Polishing

Gloves like these are familiar to many in the State of Hockey. Local artist Ben Awes was commissioned to create 3D replicas of a customers game worn hockey gloves. After creating an exact 3D model, the gloves were 3D printed in stainless steel. A multi-step process refined print lines and polished the gloves to a mirror finish.

Welded Stainless Sanitary Funnel

OEM | Descaling, Polishing

The welding scale on this 2 piece OEM assembly was no match for ISO Finishing’s surface finishing experts. Drawing on more than 35 years of metal and surface finishing experience, the customized finishing solution resulted in a descaled and mirror finished part ready for assembly.

Beverage Dispenser Handle

OEM | Descaling, Polishing

While a quick and economical option, products created by casting methods typically require deflashing or descaling before use. The final finish on these investment cast beverage dispenser levers was the result of multi-step CBF processing included removing the casting scale before achieving the full final polish.
