Our Russell AMPro®Lab Sieve Station is named a finalist in the TCT Post Processing Award
Following from our AMPro® Sieve Station Connect being selected as a finalist for the TCT Post Processing Award in 2024, this year it’s our Russell AMPro®Lab Sieve Station’s turn, highlighting the growing need for a small batch powder reclaim system in the additive manufacturing industry.
With the additive manufacturing industry expected to rapidly grow 20.3% by 2031, there is increased demand for a reliable, post-processing system to recover and qualify AM powder for reuse. But with many systems on the market being tailored to large scale production, our Russell AMPro®Lab Sieve Station was specially designed to fill this gap and offer a solution for small scale printers.
The AMPro®Lab is the most advanced post-processing powder handling system on the market, as it uses ultrasonic frequency rather than mechanical vibration to break down surface tension and minimize powder wastage. The unit has three different modes, optimized for different types of powder, and provides a safe, enclosed system, suitable for laboratory environments.
The Post Processing Award celebrates essential processes which impact material quality of additively manufactured parts and our small-scale powder handling system is already impacting the AM industry. Recent applications of this product in the medical and dental sectors have been at Meotec, who use the unit to screen zinc for their biodegrade implants, or the University of Amsterdam who have increased productivity by 80% for their additive manufacturing research. The AMPro®Lab has a host of benefits including:
- Advancing powder quality and reusability
- Extremely easy use and maintenance
- Lowering costs and waste
- Effortless integration with 3D metal printers
- Progressing research within universities and laboratory environments
