Depowdering machines
About
Solukon
Together with Solukon Maschinenbau, Turbex can help with
the depowdering of metal laser-melted parts in the
additive manufacturing industry.
"The (Solukon) machine has reduced our risk of passing on components to downstream processes with powder still in internal cavities. We especially like the programmable two-axis rotation along any imaginable path that offers our operators a unique range of possibilities."
Ruaridh Mitchinson, Senior Research Engineer at the MTC.

Get flawless results with SPR-Pathfinder®
UK customers can now benefit from Solukon Maschinenbau’s SPR-Pathfinder® – developed in tandem with Siemens Technology.
What is SPR- Pathfinder®?
SPR-Pathfinder® software uses a build job’s CAD file to automatically create an optimal motion sequence for the depowdering machine to use.
It essentially thinks in reverse, ensuring that excess powder is removed from complex structures with minimal effort. Manual intervention is not necessary, and the software is essentially plug-and-play.
Benefits of SPR-Pathfinder®
SPR-Pathfinder® is part of Solukon’s wider Smart Powder Recuperation Technology, which uses rotation and vibration to recover all leftover powder from even the smallest of channels.
Key SPR-Pathfinder® features:
Powder removal in
a protected
environment
Programmable
movement
Targeted vibration
Simple powder
recovery
