Buffalo, New York – November 13, 2024 – PostProcess Technologies, the leading provider of automated post-printing solutions, and Farsoon Technologies, a global leader in industrial 3D printing solutions, have announced a strategic 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 cutting-edge 3D printing technology with PostProcess’s breakthrough 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 experience labor cost reductions of over 75% and powder recovery of over 95%.
A Game-Changing Solution for SLS Workflows
The collaboration introduces the PREVO 700 automated PBF depowdering solution from PostProcess that pairs with the Farsoon 403P and UT501P printers. This pairing enhances reliability, minimizes human intervention, and optimizes efficiency in industrial 3D printing. With this seamless integration, manufacturers can expect more consistent results, faster turnaround times, and lower overall production costs, empowering them to scale operations more effectively.
The first successful workflow installation and integration of the PREVO 700 with a Farsoon printer will be in a SLS Factory in Europe in November.
“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.”
Showcased at Formnext 2024
Visitors to the upcoming Formnext 2024 trade show in Frankfurt, Germany, from November 19-22, will have the opportunity to explore this innovative automated workflow in person.
Representatives from both companies will be available to showcase the integrated solution and answer any questions at their respective booths.
