Over recent decades, electronic componentry has become ubiquitous in industrial and consumer goods globally. Much of the world’s transportation, computation, and data storage capabilities depend on the reliable output of semiconductors, specifically. Electronics manufacturers require precision cutting, scoring, and cleaning techniques to achieve the level of quality required by their customers.

Examples of the ways the Airbrasive’s products can be used in the Semiconductor & Electronics sector include:
‍

• Removing conformal coatings
• Cutting circuit board conductors
• Silicon wafer etching
• Resistor and capacitor trimming & adjustment
• Deoxidizing contact surfaces
• Removing varnish from magnet wire
• Ceramic drilling, cutting, edging and marking
• Glass scoring, etching, drilling, cutting

The metal production, processing, and machining sub-sectors represent some of the most critical input players across all tangible goods producers. These fields are relied upon by nearly every end segment of the built world—whether it be construction, energy, or transportation. In order to effectively service the diverse and frequently changing needs of their customers, businesses in these spaces need extremely agile and efficient deburring, drilling and finishing solutions.

Examples of the ways the Airbrasive’s products can be used in the Machining & Metals sector include:
‍

• Deburring
• Edging
• Deflashing
• Drilling
• Cutting
• Finishing
• Marking
• Machine tooling

The medical and dental industries are continuously being revolutionized by the production of new devices and tools. The quickening pace of innovative development in these industries necessitates that device and wearable technology manufacturers both enhance and speed up their production processes. Critical among these production capabilities is the ability to apply abrasive solutions, which is often needed both from a competitive and a regulatory perspective.

Examples of the ways the Airbrasive’s products can be used in the Medical & Dental sectors include:
‍

• Cleaning and preparation of surgical tools
• Blasting and cleaning metal, porcelain, investment, enamel
• Surface texturing for advanced adhesion
• Texturing & deburring implantable devices
• Deburring threads on cannulated bone screws
• Conformal coating removal
• Deburring of syringes, vascular stents and cannulae
• Cleaning and texturing of mold cavities

Technological advancement has created significant production and preservation value within the archeological, art, and jewelry fields. Hand-driven techniques that have been performed for hundreds of years are now capable of being done in a fraction of the time with more precision using abrasive tools. Whether it be rooted in a desire to preserve extremely rare and precious materials or an attempt to execute established processes faster, master practitioners in these fields are now leveraging micro-abrasive techniques.

Examples of the ways the Airbrasive’s products can be used in the Archeological & Preservation sectors include:
‍

• Removing matrix from fossils
• Cleaning & restoring basketry & beadwork
• Removing patina/bronze disease from art
• Removing glue and paint from fibers/canvases
• Cleaning embroidery & various textiles
• Sculpting jade and semi-precious stones
• Selective matte finishing on jewelry
• Removing dirt from leather
