Polishing surfaces to mirror-like requirements minimizes the amount of microscopic and/or inaccessible areas that enable contamination or entrapment.

Ultra-smooth surface finishes greatly diminish the areas of concern for surface absorption, chemical contaminants, foreign particulate and bacteria. Additionally, the AFM process minimizes “flow-retardation” due to machining and/or die and mold “microgrooves.”

AFM allows for extremely fine finishes on very complex geometry and difficult-to-reach surface configurations often found in prosthetic applications and in a broad range of materials.
