Self-orienting shaped abrasive particles

Abstract

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a shaped abrasive particle. The shaped abrasive particle includes a first non-planar continuous surface and a second non-planar continuous surface. The shaped abrasive particle further includes at least one sidewall or edge joining the first non-planar continuous surface and the second non-planar continuous surface. The shaped abrasive particle further includes one or more vertices. The shaped abrasive particle is configured to have a stable resting position on a substantially planar substrate, wherein at least one vertex is oriented in a substantially upward direction relative to the planar substrate.
