A computer-implemented method is provided for shaping an edge of a part to be cut from a workpiece using a material processing system comprising a processing head configured to deliver a processing stream. The method includes calculating a start point and an end point of a shaping path proximate to the edge of the part based on a desired edge profile and determining a set of operating parameters to controllably impinge the processing stream about the edge of the part to execute the shaping path from the start point to the end point. The method further includes positioning the processing head normal to a surface of the part and controllably impinging the processing stream at the edge of the part, by the processing head, to shape the desired edge profile.

Embodiments presented provide for a slip wedge anchor system that is used in plugs for hydrocarbon recovery operations, wherein the plugs are made through a sacrificial tooling element.

A method for abrasive flow machining includes moving an abrasive media through a high-aspect passage of a workpiece. Local pressure of the abrasive media is increased at target abrasion surfaces of the high-aspect passage using a passage geometry that is configured to direct flow of the abrasive media into the target abrasion surfaces such that the target abrasion surfaces are preferentially polished by the abrasive media over other, non-targeted surfaces of the high-aspect passage at which the flow of the abrasive media is not directed into.

High-pressure fluid jet systems are provided which include a pump to selectively provide a source of high-pressure fluid, a cutting head assembly configured to receive the high-pressure fluid and generate a high-pressure fluid jet for processing workpieces or work surfaces, and a fluid distribution system in fluid communication with the pump and the cutting head assembly to route the high-pressure fluid from the pump to the cutting head assembly. The pump, the cutting head assembly and/or the fluid distribution system include at least one fluid distribution component having a unitary body formed from an additive manufacturing or casting process with an internal passage having at least a curvilinear portion to efficiently route matter through the fluid jet system. Example fluid distribution components include fittings, valve bodies, cutting head bodies and nozzles of the high-pressure fluid jet systems.
