Farsoon and PostProcess automate PBF depowdering
Offering manufacturers in the European and North American markets an integrated and streamlined workflow
PostProcess Technologies, a provider of automated 3D printing post-processing solutions, and Farsoon Technologies, a Chinese industrial 3D printing company, have entered a collaboration designed to advance Polymer Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) powder removal post-processing through an automated workflow. This partnership, targeting the European and North American markets, unites Farsoon’s 3D printing technology with PostProcess’s automated depowdering solutions – offering manufacturers an integrated and streamlined workflow.
This partnership is a significant milestone in further improving the PBF production process by eliminating manual powder removal, reducing production time, and increasing operational efficiency. By integrating automated depowdering with the PBF workflow, customers can reportedly experience labor cost reductions of more than 75% and powder recovery of more than 95%.
The collaboration introduces the PREVO 700 automated PBF depowdering solution from PostProcess that pairs with the Farsoon 403P and UT501P printers – enhancing reliability, minimizing human intervention, and optimizing efficiency in industrial 3D printing. With this integration, manufacturers can expect more consistent results, faster turnaround times, and lower overall production costs – empowering them to scale operations more effectively.
The first workflow installation and integration of the PREVO 700 with a Farsoon printer will be in an SLS factory in Europe, this year.
“We are excited to partner with PostProcess Technologies to deliver an advanced, automated post-processing solution that meets the industry’s growing demand for efficiency, scalability, and reliability in PBF manufacturing,” said Oliver Li, Managing Director of Farsoon Europe. “This collaboration will significantly enhance the productivity of our customers.”
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Farsoon on this groundbreaking automated depowdering solution,” said Jeff Mize, CEO of PostProcess Technologies. “By combining our technologies, we are offering manufacturers a transformative workflow that enhances both productivity and quality. We look forward to showcasing the advantages of this solution at Formnext and continuing to push the boundaries of post-processing automation.”
