Shaping systems and methods suitable for cutting a material, and deburring devices for performing a deburring operation on an edge of the material. Such deburring devices include a manifold having at least first, second, and third nozzles having first, second, and third axes on different first, second, and third planes, respectively. The first, second, and third nozzles are adapted to project first, second, and third gas streams therefrom in the first, second, and third planes axes. A mechanism is provided for orienting the manifold to project the first, second, and third gas streams at the edge of the material.

An additive manufacturing method of manufacturing a product by laminating metal includes: laminating the metal so as to form a half-finished product of the product and a support; and spraying dry ice pellets having a particle shape to the support, after the laminating.

A waterjet nozzle is provided for deflashing a leadless package device. The waterjet nozzle has a central core having a conically shaped passage between a nozzle inlet, lying in a first plane, and a nozzle outlet, lying in a second plane. The nozzle includes a groove, in the waterjet nozzle, above a third plane defining an end of the waterjet nozzle, along a first line in the third plane. A tube connects the nozzle outlet to the groove. The nozzle includes a flange, lying below the third plane along a second line, in the third plane, intersecting the first line. The waterjet nozzle may be used to deflash a leadframe package by inserting the flange from a waterjet nozzle into a singulation cut on a lead frame; and injecting a waterjet through the conically-shaped passage from the nozzle inlet through the nozzle outlet.

A smoothing method includes: a step of attaching a workpiece to a rotating shaft of a rotating mechanism; and a step of performing direct pressure blasting on the workpiece while rotating the workpiece about the rotating shaft as an axial center. In the blasting, injection media are injected in a direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft, the injection media include a core material made of an elastic body and abrasive grains provided on a surface of the core material, and hardness of the core material is lower than hardness of the abrasive grains.

An additive manufacturing method of manufacturing a product by laminating metal includes: laminating the metal so as to form a half-finished product of the product and a support; and spraying dry ice pellets having a particle shape to the support, after the laminating.

A method for treating a surface of a fibre composite component, wherein an abrasive removal of the surface of the fibre composite component takes place by blasting a removing agent transported by a gaseous transporting fluid onto the surface of the fibre composite component by a feed nozzle and a suction extraction of the removing agent and material removed by the removing agent takes place by an extraction nozzle arranged in the region of the feed nozzle.

Systems and methods suitable for cutting a material and deburring devices for performing a deburring operation on an edge of the material. Such a system includes a frame and table systems supported by the frame. Each table system includes a table for supporting the material and each table system is independently movable relative to the frame in lateral directions. A first carriage unit and second carriage units are supported by the frame and independently operable to travel in a travel direction transverse to the lateral directions. The first carriage unit includes multiple cutting devices, and the second carriage units includes multiple deburring devices. Each cutting device operates in conjunction with a corresponding one of the deburring devices, and the cutting and deburring devices are independently operable to cause the cutting devices and the deburring devices to simultaneously travel in the travel direction.

A bullet-carried rust removal mechanism and a rust removal device are provided. The bullet-carried rust removal mechanism includes bullets, the bullets can reciprocate linearly under the driving of an external driving mechanism to thereby repeatedly knock a surface to be derusted, and an end of each of the bullets away from the driving mechanism is a knocking portion for derusting conveniently. The bullet-carried rust removal mechanism has a relatively small volume and a position to be derusted can be accurately positioned during derusting.

A method for the manufacture of a component comprises the following steps, in sequence using an additive layer manufacturing process to build a three-dimensional net shape of the component; performing a first abrasive blasting operation on a region of a surface of the component; and performing a second abrasive blasting operation on the region. The angle of incidence of the abrasive on the surface in the first abrasive blasting operation is less than the angle of incidence of the abrasive on the surface in the second abrasive blasting operation.
