Plastic components printed with powder-based 3D printing systems require complete removal of residual powder and an excellent surface preparation. This is essential for the success of subsequent manufacturing operations like painting or coating. AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology, a division of the Rösler group and specialized in post processing, has completely re-designed its S1 surface treatment system. This cost-efficient plug-and-play unit is ideal for the automatic de-powdering and cleaning of small to mid-size work piece volumes.

The new machine design allows the easy switch from automatic to manual operation without time consuming re-tooling. This can be highly advantageous for processing of somewhat larger single components. All the operator has to do is to unlock the rotary basket and move it to the rear of the blast cabinet. This provides work space for the manual handling and blasting of somewhat larger components. The clever design ensures that the operator is not exposed to any moving parts so that no additional safety features are necessary.
