Solukon – the post-processing market leader for depowdering

Depowdering made easy: Automated cleaning of laser-melted 3D printed parts

URMA is expanding its range of additive manufacturing machines in the post-processing sector with the Solukon depowdering systems. Solukon was the first company in the world to develop an automated solution for component cleaning: Smart Powder Recuperation technology SPR®.

Smart Powder Recuperation technology

Solukon depowdering systems are compatible with all powder-based 3D printers. The various post-treatment systems differ mainly in the size of the parts to be cleaned and the movement options of the swivel arms.

 

Starting with the entry-level model SFM-AT200, through SFM-AT350 for medium-sized components and the SFM-AT-800-S system, which is suitable for complex components, to the SFM-AT1000-S depowdering system for particularly large components.

Depowdering

Automatic depowdering of beam-melted metal components

For 3D printed metal parts, URMA offers Solukon, a wide range of systems for automatic powder removal. All machines are based on the Solukon Smart Powder Recuperation technology SPR®: Rotations and targeted vibration excitation ensure that powder can escape from the finest internal channels.

Solukon systems can quickly and efficiently de-powder complex metal components such as heat exchangers. By inerting in a protected process chamber, Solukon systems are also approved for reactive materials such as titanium and aluminum. Solukon thus sets the highest standards for industrial depowdering of additively manufactured metal components. Read more about depowdering components here.

SFM-AT1000-S – pro version for particularly large components

The SFM-AT1000-S is an automatic depowdering system for large and heavy metal components weighing up to 1763.7 lb. and up to 1 m in height. This makes it the ideal system for the aerospace industry, which has particularly high post-processing requirements.

Smart Powder Recuperation SPR

SPR® enables fully automated cleaning of 3D printed metal parts in a protected atmosphere. Through automatic rotations around two axes and targeted oscillation excitation (vibration), the powder becomes "flowable", so that even narrow openings and internal channels become powder-free.
