Thrust: Due to the necessity of precise and cost-effective way to manufacture aerospace filter ,some of the non-traditional machining process overcome the conventional machining processes. Photochemical machining (PCM), photo electroforming (PEF) or laser beam machining (LBM) are the methods that are selected for three aerospace filters to analysis the most efficient and convenient one among them. Several hydraulic and pneumatic parts of the aerospace using these filter to maintain contamination level. That's why the comparison between those NTM method with traditional one is necessary. Traditional fabrication method such as punching, stamping, drilling are used for stronger perforated metal plates but to made Etched disk filter which is advanced fluid filter need to make with Ti generally use PCM for bur free and variable edge profile capabilities. To make Ultra fine micro filters from 2D design PEF is best suitable rather than PCM because of its unique multi level features. But for considering the operating life Titanium propellant filter manufactured by LBM process is best suitable because of its high aspect ratio, precision and accuracy. So these are the way to accomplish the demand of making aerospace filter considering the manufacturing aspect.
