PALMS Project

Palms (Plasma Additive Layer Manufacture Smoothing) has been developed by Wallwork’s Cambridge research and development centre and our Manchester machine build division.

The project was funded by the European Commission under the Fast Tract to Innovation Pilot (FTIPilot-2016). Palms uses a novel electrochemical plasma technology to reduce the surface roughness of 3D printed metal parts to achieve a smooth micro-finish quickly and cost effectively.

Wallwork has chosen Fintek, the UK’s foremost experts in meeting the real-world surface finishing needs of engineers, to exclusively market the Palms process. Fintek are providing a full subcontract service and machine sales. Their technicians will devise the perfect process using Palms to enable you to achieve your surface finishing goals for your additively manufactured metals parts.
