Innovation technology is giving the opportunity to fabricate products and parts in alternative ways and with special characteristics, which do not strictly depend on the primary manufacturing process. In particular, smart manufacturing seeks for flexible systems and customizable products, recognizing additive manufacturing (AM) processes as a key element. To successfully integrate AM into the production chain it is necessary to overcome its limitations in terms of final product quality and reliability, wisely choosing post-processing operations. This work outlines how it is possible to significantly improve AM product performance using an environment friendly process, such as burnishing, coupled with a numerical simulation model encouraging customer integration and developing a flexible manufacturing process capable to conform with the main idea behind Industry 4.0.

Abstract
Innovation technology is giving the opportunity to fabricate products and parts in alternative ways and with special characteristics, which do not strictly depend on the primary manufacturing process. In particular, smart manufacturing seeks for flexible systems and customizable products, recognizing additive manufacturing (AM) processes as a key element. To successfully integrate AM into the production chain it is necessary to overcome its limitations in terms of final product quality and reliability, wisely choosing post-processing operations. This work outlines how it is possible to significantly improve AM product performance using an environment friendly process, such as burnishing, coupled with a numerical simulation model encouraging customer integration and developing a flexible manufacturing process capable to conform with the main idea behind Industry 4.0.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
