REM Finishing

What is REM Finishing?

The REM® Process is REM Surface Engineering’s original, break-through chemically accelerated surface finishing technology for traditionally manufactured components.  It is a suite of isotropic finishing and superfinishing processes design to accommodate large batch volume component processing.

 

The REM Process is known to reduce cycle time, media consumption, and manufacturing operations while improving final surface finish surface quality.  As a polishing process, the REM Process has been shown to be the most cost-efficient and reliable surface finishing process.
