Volkmann PowTReX rolls to 3D printers for metal powder transfer, recovery

The PowTReX metal powder transfer and recovery system from Volkmann USA now features a mobility package as standard, allowing the system to be taken from machine to machine. It automatically transfers 3D printing powders from a container or supply hopper to the printer, extracts and sieves unused powder after a completed build job to remove oversize particles, and collects the sieved powder for return into the process.

Integrated with the company's pneumatic vacuum transfer technology, the mobile unit is set on nonmarking, antistatic casters with polypropylene wheels as standard. A removable powder collection hopper that stages sieved powders for return to storage or to the additive manufacturing process also comes set on a choice of casters.
