Abstract: A oven and oven system are provided to shape materials. In some embodiments, material is received from an extruder by inlet of an oven. The oven may include segments that are serially engaged to form a shape mold, as well as a heating element that heats the material, such that the material is concurrently heated and shaped. The material may be shaped into, for example, a ring by cutting and welding the ends of the material after removing it from the shape mold.

Abstract: A sensor may be used to determine the presence of burrs on a workpiece, and a blasting media may be applied to the workpiece to lessen or eliminate burrs. The blasting media may be applied to the workpiece using a nozzle. The sensor may be scanned over the workpiece, and one or more burr metrics may be determined to qualify or quantify the presence of burrs. Based on the one or more burr metrics, a blasting schedule may be determined and performed. One or more characteristics of the workpiece may be checked after deburring to determine the extent of alteration, if any, of the workpiece caused by deburring.
