additive manufacturing 27 www.smart-molding.com AMT launches new fully automated 2-in-1 system for maximum throughput A d d i t i v e Ma n u f a c t u r i n g Technologies Ltd. (AMT), a global leader in safe and sus - tainable automated post-processing systems for 3D printed parts, removes a major bottleneck in AM production throughput with the now available PostProDP MAX. Co-developed with Leering Heneglo, an internationally recognized producer of blasting equip - ment for metal and plastics processing industry. Powered by continuous tumble belt technology for maximum throughput and process and part-size flexibility, PostProDP MAX is a fully automated depowdering and shot blasting system designed for large component runs and/or use in large batches. Providing an efficient user and pro - duction experience, the cabinet is front-loading at an ergonomic work - ing height with reversible belt con - trols enabling automatic loading and unloading of parts to and from the transport container, thus maximizing throughput. The PostPro DP MAX is computer- controlled to enable Industry 4.0 com - patibility and can be connected with and integrated with other Manu - facturing Execution Systems (MES) in a production work - flow. Users are able to program and store recipes and processing param - eters making cleaning 3D printed parts more efficient than ever. Key differentiating features include a large processing space equipped with ionizing nozzles that leave the parts completely powder-free after blasting. The system is 3D printer material ag - nostic and works with all powder-based printer platforms including HPMulti Jet Fusion, Stratasys, EOS, Farsoon, and 3D Systems, as well as a range of thermo - plastic polymers such as polyamides and elastomeric materials. The PostProDP MAX is suitable for all common abra - sives and surface finishing media such as glass beads, polybeads, corundum, ceramics, nutshells, plastics, and fine sizes of stainless steel and steel. PostProDP MAX is CE and ATEX certi - fied and is constructed as one compact unit to minimize the machine footprint and maintenance cost. The system has been tested with customers across Eu - rope and is available now to order from AMT. PostPro DP MAX: PostPro DP MAX is a fully automated 2-in-1 depowdering and shot blast - ing system designed for maximum throughput. Continuous Tumble Belt Powered by continuous tumble belt technology for maximum throughput and process flexibility, the PostPro DP Max has a 63 liter processing volume and has been designed for use in large component and/ or large batch production runs. Efficient User Experience The system is front loading at an ergonomic working height with reversible belt controls enabling automatic loading and unloading of parts to and from the transport container. Digitally connected Equipped with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC, the PostProDPMax can be connected with external Manufacturing Execution Sys - tems and is able to communicate and integrate with other EMS in a production workflow.
