The PowderShield™ enclosure is the base of the system and is built with a reapeatable hermetic seal, hinged window panel, LED lighting, and stand. It can come equipped with various optional features to provide unique depowdering solutions, including rotating tilt table, vacuum hose, blow off gun, unidirectional flow, and other components for safety and efficiency.

After powders have been removed, the gravity-fed chute collects and contains powders for reuse, and can be integrated with sieves, powder hoppers, and collection kegs.

PowderShield™ optional features provide further customization configurations for additive manufacturers who have unique post-processing requirements when it comes to metal powders and safety. These and more can be designed and built into the PowderShield™ system.

Integrating inert gas management to the PowderShield™ enclosure creates a work environment free from oxygen that can cause ignition or combustion to metal powders. Gas management can also be used to supply argon to the interior blowoff gun, for the cleanest, purest depowdering process possible.

Inert's powder filtration is perfect for handling the small amounts of particulate leftover on parts after they have been removed from the build chamber. Filtration passivates the powders making them safe to handle, dispose of, or recycle after the part has been fully post-processed.

Cyclonic filtration integration with PowderShield™ can be used to handle large quantities of powders or particulate up to several gallons at a time. The design allows additive manufacturers who have higher quantities of residual powders in the post-processing stage to fully depoqder and recycle the media. Can be integrated with vacuums and sieves for other AM solutions.
