Meeting the challenges of metal powder handling in 3D printing
Optimizing metal powder handling During Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes there are numerous, different powder handling tasks to be accomplished, whether the powder is plastic or metal. For various reasons, however, metal powders represent a greater challenge in the additive manufacturing handling processes. Supplying metal powders to 3D printers, recovering unbound material and then classifying and […]
Metal powder recovery made easy
Metal powder recovery made easy The PowTReX is a vacuum conveying based transfer, screening and recovery system for metal powder developed for additive manufacturing (AM). It is used to transport metal powder from equipment such as 3D printers and unpacking stations, with high and constant suction power. The extracted powder is screened and the material […]
The transfer of powders into gas EX zones
The transfer of powders into gas EX zones Transferring powders from a safe environment to one where volatiles are present can be a hazardous application for any vacuum or pneumatic transfer system. To ensure safe conditions exist at the discharge point where any risk of a spark being generated could result in an explosion, special […]
