What is a blasting cabinet in 3D printing, and how does it work?

A blasting cabinet is a specialized machine for post-processing 3D printed parts, especially those produced with powder fusion technologies such as SLS, MJF, and SAF. The main function of a blasting cabinet is to remove excess powder and other residual materials from the parts, ensuring a cleaner and more professional finish. In many cases, blasting cabinets also perform additional processes such as polishing or coloring to achieve refined, high-quality surfaces.

The blasting process can be performed in various ways. Some blasting cabinets use compressed air to remove adhered powder from the surface of the parts, while others employ abrasive media to smooth and refine surfaces.

There are also combined blasting cabinets that integrate these techniques and allow multiple post-processing tasks in a single cycle, such as the CCP-10 from AM Efficiency.

The CCP-10: Advanced automated blasting cabinet for 3D printing

The CCP-10 is an automated blasting cabinet specifically designed to optimize the post-processing of 3D-printed parts. This equipment stands out for its ability to perform three essential tasks in a single process: cleaning, polishing, and simultaneous coloring. Thanks to its advanced technology, the CCP-10 can remove excess powder, refine part surfaces, and provide a professional finish with minimal manual intervention.

One of the main advantages of the CCP-10 is its full automation, which eliminates the need for manual intervention in post-processing. This not only saves time but also reduces labor costs and improves consistency in results, as parts are processed uniformly in each cycle. This blasting cabinet is particularly suitable for companies looking for an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly SLS post-processing solution.

Interchangeable consumables for the CCP-10

The CCP-10 from AM Efficiency offers the possibility of using interchangeable consumables to optimize performance. These consumables include Cleaning Powder - AM, which efficiently removes residual powder and other debris from the parts, Cleaning and Coloring Powder - AM, which combines cleaning with simultaneous coloring for a uniform, professional finish, and Polishing Powder - AM, which provides precise polishing, achieving smooth, refined surfaces. These consumables allow customization of the process to different production needs, offering versatility and efficiency for companies with various post-processing requirements.

Advantages of using the CCP-10 in 3D part post-processing

One of the main advantages of the CCP-10 is its energy efficiency. This equipment consumes less energy and compressed air than traditional blasting cabinets, which not only reduces operating costs but also contributes to the sustainability of production processes.

Technical specifications of the CCP-10

The CCP-10 stands out for its advanced technical specifications, including a compact design that is easy to integrate into any production environment. With a cabinet volume of 440 liters and a drum measuring 550 mm in diameter and 300 mm in depth, its dimensions are 1000 x 1100 x 1500 mm, and its weight is 170 kg. The machine operates with a 230V 16A electrical connection and requires an air pressure of 5 to 9 bar, with an air consumption of less than 300 liters per minute at 6 bar. Additionally, its sound level is 72 dB, making it suitable for industrial environments where low acoustic impact is required.
