The new standard for medium-sized parts weighing up to 60 kg

The SFM‑AT350 is an automatic system for efficient depowdering of metal laser melted parts. It is the powder removal unit for medium-sized parts weighing up to 60 kg. An optimized chamber volume and an enhanced freedom of motion characterize the SFM‑AT350. In addition, complicated motion sequences can be programmed easily and quickly. The SFM‑AT350 thus sets new standards in the depowdering of medium-sized metal components. Like all Solukon systems the SFM-AT200 is compatible with every 3D printer on the market.

Enless rotation of the turntable

The postprocessing system uses the unique Solukon Smart Powder Recuperation technology SPR®. The SFM‑AT350 therefore cleans metal parts within a sealed process chamber. It uses targeted vibration and automated programmable rotation along two axes. Due to rotation of the part unmelted build material can flow out of complex voids and support structures. The turntable of the SFM-AT350 rotates endlessly while the horizontal axis swivels 250 degrees. After the automated depowdering just use the sealed glove ports for manual finishing with compressed air or inert gas. The collected metal powder is ready for reuse because it is free of any contamination.

Safety and connectivity within the SFM‑AT350

Since the SFM‑AT350 is ignition source-free, it also cleans components made of reactive materials such as aluminum or titanium safely. Safety-monitored inerting with inert gas provides additional explosion protection.

An OPC UA interface makes the SFM‑AT350 the intelligent workhorse for your postprocessing. In addition, you can monitor the depowdering process via smartphone at any time. The optional Digital Factory tool enables quality assurance and automation integration for your depowdering process.

Solukon SFM-AT1000-S

The powder removal system ideal for extraordinary large parts with a height up to 1,000 mm

The SFM-AT1000-S is an automatic depowdering system for large and heavy metal components with a height of up to 1,000 mm and a maximum weight of 800 kg.... More Info Less Info

The pro-version ideal for extraordinary large parts with a height up to 1,000 mm

The SFM-AT1000-S is an automatic depowdering system for large and heavy metal components with a height of up to 1,000 mm and a maximum weight of 800 kg. This makes it the ideal postprocessing system for the Aerospace & Space industry. The SFM-AT1000-S depowders even the most complex rocket engines, which have internal cavities and channels, fully automatically and efficiently. The system is based on the unique Solukon Smart Powder Recuperation technology SPR®. Like all Solukon systems the SFM-AT1000-S is compatible with every 3D printer on the market.

Powder removal with endless rotation of the build plate

The SFM-AT1000-S has two endless rotating axes with programmable servo-drives so that it can move the part along any imaginable path. Individual control is also possible. Use the joystick to move the component flexibly in any direction at variable speed and then save the movement pattern.

Safety and Connectivity within the SFM-AT1000-S

After the automatic powder removal just use the sealed glove ports to manually remove powder residues with compressed air or inert gas. When working with reactive materials such as titanium or aluminum, you can use the system under inert condition. The recovered metal powder can be reused in further printing processes.

Furthermore, the SFM-AT1000-S has an OPC UA interface for connectivity.
