Significant progress towards the suitability of Additive Manufacturing (AM) metal parts for the production of linear accelerator components has been made in recent years. One significant factor for the suitability of AM parts to produce linac rf structures is the surface quality of the parts. Due to the inherently higher surface roughness of AM metal parts, post-processing is necessary to reach surfaces suitable for rf operation. We present most recent results of surface post-processing trials with AM parts from stainless steel.
