As part of its ongoing effort to educate decision makers about its solutions of benefit to the additive manufacturing industry, Inert will exhibit at RAPID + TCT in Pittsburgh, Penn., May 8 to 11. Inert encourages expo attendees to stop by booth 1147 to explore its new De-Powdering Enclosure with gas management system, designed to equally protect operators from unhealthy exposure and metal powders from atmospheric contamination.
Inert’s De-Powdering Enclosure is designed to benefit the post-build additive manufacturing process by safely collecting excess metal powders from printed parts for reuse, in effect saving money and waste. This de-powdering procedure is conducted within an argon atmosphere controlled by Inert’s Argon-2 Gas Management System to avoid contamination from oxygen, moisture, dust, organic matter, or plastic – any of which could render metal powders useless, or require costly tracing and removal. Keeping airborne powder particulate within Inert’s controlled atmosphere also eliminates user health risks, damage to area electronics, and fire hazards related to the combustibility of titanium powders.
As a result of a new partnership with Sievgen to benefit the additive manufacturing industry, Inert will also feature the Sievgen 04 automated sieving station, which allows users to safely work with, weigh and measure, reclaim, and transfer powders, metal or otherwise.
Inert specializes in customizable solutions for aerospace, medical devices, and other additive manufacturing applications that use metal powders. Learn more about Inert’s additive manufacturing enclosures, gas management systems, and powder containment options at www.inert-am.com.
About RAPID + TCT
For over 25 years, RAPID has defined the crucial role of additive manufacturing and empowered the establishment of an industry that continues to conceive, test, improve and manufacture new products at a faster, more cost-efficient pace. The two industry leaders in 3D technology events, SME and The TCT Group, are teaming up to produce the annual RAPID + TCT event starting in 2017. For users and suppliers alike, the event will be the premier destination for those who provide technology and for those who need to understand, explore and adopt 3D printing, additive manufacturing, 3D scanning, CAD/CAE, metrology and inspection technologies.
