Introduction to a Revolution in Additive Manufacturing
In the world of additive manufacturing, post-processing 3D printed parts has always been a challenge. However, the arrival of the ENESKApostprocess system, developed by Joke Technology in Germany and distributed by Moleroda Finishing Systems, marks a before and after. This equipment, recently installed at the facilities of Apex Additive Technologies in Wales, United Kingdom, promises to transform the way companies approach the finishing of 3D printed parts.
"The ENESKApostprocess not only improves efficiency but also redefines safety standards in the post-processing of metal parts."
Innovative and Safe Design
Smart Work Cabin
The system features a 0.75 square meter cabin, designed to accommodate parts of various sizes. The standout feature is its ATEX-rated filter, which automatically extracts the fine dust generated during the process. This not only keeps the cabin air cleaner than the surrounding environment but also eliminates the need for operators to use additional protective equipment.
- Guaranteed safety: The system door remains locked until safety standards are met.
- Efficiency: Operators can work without interruptions, improving productivity.
Ergonomics and Repeatability
The ergonomic design of the system allows processes to be repeatable and consistent, which is crucial for high-precision manufacturing. Additionally, its ability to handle different types of parts makes it a versatile tool for any production environment.
Versatile Applications in Industry
Since its installation, Apex Additive Technologies has used the ENESKApostprocess system for a variety of tasks, including:
- Removal of residual dust.
- Removal of print supports.
- Fine surface smoothing.
- Separation of build plates.
These applications demonstrate Apex's commitment to quality and safety in the post-processing of 3D printed parts.
Safety and Efficiency Combined
Youssef Beshay, founder and CEO of Apex Additive Technologies, has highlighted the importance of addressing the risks associated with post-processing metal parts. The fine dust generated during these processes can not only be dangerous to operators' health but also affect workplace cleanliness.
"The ENESKApostprocess system solves these problems by containing and immediately extracting the powders, ensuring a safe and efficient environment."
A Cleaner and Safer Future
With its ability to combine safety, cleanliness, and efficiency, the ENESKApostprocess system sets a new standard in advanced manufacturing. It not only improves the quality of part finishing but also reduces the risks associated with handling hazardous materials.
Apex's Commitment to Innovation
Apex Additive Technologies continues to lead the way in high-quality additive manufacturing. Using technologies such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and advanced post-processing solutions, the company reinforces its commitment to excellence and safety in the 3D printing industry.
The acquisition of the ENESKApostprocess system is not only a testament to its dedication to innovation but also a bet on a safer and more efficient future in additive manufacturing.
In summary, the ENESKApostprocess system is not only an advanced tool for post-processing 3D printed parts but also a step toward a cleaner, safer, and more efficient future in the additive manufacturing industry.
