Saturne Technology installs new Solukon SFM-AT1500-S depowdering system
Luxembourg-based manufacturer strengthens automated postprocessing for ultra-large metal parts in aerospace and industrial applications
Saturne Technology has added a new Solukon SFM-AT1500-S depowdering system to its additive manufacturing operations, extending its postprocessing capabilities for ultra-large and complex metal components. The system, designed for parts up to 1,600 millimeters in height, supports fully automated depowdering with component-specific parameters calculated through Solukon’s SPR-Pathfinder software.
The addition marks Saturne’s continued investment in scaling its additive manufacturing capacity. Founded in 2001 by Chief Executive Officer Walter Grzymlas, the company specializes in high-precision metal additive and laser-based manufacturing, serving sectors including aerospace, automotive, medical, nuclear, and defense.
Based in Luxembourg, Saturne Technology is among a small group of European firms that manage the full production chain in additive manufacturing, from design validation and prototyping to serial production. Its in-house capabilities include laser welding, cutting, drilling, refilling, and cladding, allowing the company to oversee the complete lifecycle of complex parts.
Grzymlas said the new depowdering system reinforces Saturne’s strategy to combine additive manufacturing with traditional machining methods for greater efficiency and reliability. “Our expertise across laser technologies and our responsiveness enable us to support customers through every stage of their projects — from concept to validated production,” he stated.
The company reports that its 15-person team works closely with project managers and designers to optimize part designs, reduce manufacturing costs, and validate industrialization processes for small, medium, and large production runs.
