Methods are disclosed for forming an electrode for use in forming a honeycomb extrusion die. The method includes forming, by means of an additive manufacturing process, an electrode includes a base having a web extending from the base. The web defines a matrix of cellular openings. The method further includes forming a secondary electrode having a plurality of pins. The plurality of pins are shaped and arranged so as to mate with the matrix of cellular openings defined by the web of the electrode. The method further includes machining the electrode using the secondary electrode to smooth surfaces of the electrode formed by the additive manufacturing process. 用于形成蜂窝挤出模头的电极的形成方法。该方法包括通过增材式制造工艺的方式形成电极，所述电极包括具有从底座延伸的网络的底座。网络限定了孔道开口的矩阵。该方法还包括形成具有多个销钉的次级电极。所述多个销钉的形状和布置使得与电极的网络所限定的孔道开口的矩阵相匹配。该方法还包括采用次级电极对电极进行机械加工从而对通过增材式制造工艺所形成的电极的表面进行光滑处理。
