AMEXCI bolsters AM operations with two extra Solukon depowdering programs | VoxelMatters

AMEXCI, an industrial AM firm with services in Sweden and Finland, has expanded its postprocessing capability with the acquisition of two extra Solukon programs.

Along with its SFM-AT300, AMEXCI is considerably strengthening its AM operational footprint with the arrival of the SFM-AT350 for medium-sized elements and the SFM-AT1000-S for big LPBF elements.

The items shall be put in at AMEXCI’s just lately inaugurated Örebro (Sweden) AM facility, the place the corporate will depend on Solukon’s programs to underpin its capability to depowder elements from three completely different printers from two producers.

“The Solukon system has been a vital piece of our AM workflow from the start,” acknowledged Andreas Petersen, Head of Manufacturing at AMEXCI. “We selected the Solukon as for us, it was necessary to work with powder-free elements as early as potential within the course of. 

“It is a crucial tools for us to get elements freed from powder for safer dealing with of elements for each our operators and our clients. It’s easy to make use of, but environment friendly.  The cooperation with Solukon has been going effectively for 7 years now, with a staff prepared to assist.”

The corporate can also be evaluating the implementation of Solukon’s SPR-Pathfinder, a singular clever software program answer for automated simulation and the calculation of the depowdering of laser-melted elements.

Each LPBF construct job undertaken at AMEXCI is postprocessed in a Solukon depowdering system, adopted by an ultrasonic washer, in a partnership that started in 2018.

ƒautomSolukon’s SFM-AT1000-S is an automatic powder-removal system designed for big, heavy elements of as much as 800 kg, making it best for the aerospace trade, which has very strict post-processing necessities.

The SFM-AT350 is optimized for elements weighing as much as 100kg and has an especially compact footprint.
