SFM-AT350

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.

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.
