Abstract: An apparatus for finishing a component includes at least one articulating arm having a shot peening apparatus and at least one laser source. A plurality of laser redirectors are configured to redirect a laser originating from the laser source. Each laser redirector in the plurality of laser redirectors is mounted to a first rail and a second rail. A controller is controllably coupled to the articulating arm and each of the rails such that output signals from the controller control a position of the articulating arm, and a position of each laser redirector in the plurality of laser redirectors.

Abstract: A method of fabricating process-equivalent test specimens to an additively manufactured component includes generating a processing history model of a component, dividing the component into regions based on input data variations in processing history, wherein each region is characterized by an identified range of input data, determining additive manufacturing processing parameters needed to additively manufacture one or more test specimens that each mimic the processing history in one of the regions, and fabricating the one or more test specimens using the processing parameters determined.
