FAQs

What is the main advantage of wet blasting over dry blasting?

Wet blasting uses a water-based slurry, which eliminates airborne dust and the risk of sparks. This makes it significantly safer, especially for metal parts, and means the system does not need to comply with strict ATEX explosion-protection regulations, simplifying installation and operation.

While it is especially developed for metal printed parts, the S1 Wet is also highly effective for cleaning and surface finishing polymer components, making it a versatile solution for facilities working with multiple materials.

The S1 Wet includes an integrated closed-loop system that filters and recycles both the blasting media and process water. This reduces consumption, minimizes waste, and lowers operating costs while maintaining consistent process quality.

The S1 offers a high degree of automation. You can store up to 30 recipes in the system. For automated operation, load the parts, select the recipe, and the machine handles the rest, including nozzle positioning and cycle timing, ensuring hands-off, reproducible results.

The system can process very small parts (5x5x5 mm) up to larger components with a maximum size of Ø 400 mm x 500 mm (Height).

The S1 Wet is ideal for cleaning (removing residual powder), surface homogenization, and smoothing. By using different abrasive media, you can achieve a range of surface finishes, from matte to smooth..

The process uses a controlled slurry and is designed for metal components. The water cushioning effect actually reduces the risk of media impregnation into the surface compared to some dry blasting methods. The closed-loop system includes water conditioning to maintain process stability.

We provide comprehensive support, from initial consultation and process development to installation and training, ensuring you achieve optimal results from your S1 Wet system.

FAQs

What makes the S1 a "2-in-1" solution?

The S1 uniquely combines two critical post-processing steps into a single machine: 

1) Cleaning/Depowdering and 2) Surface Finishing (smoothing, homogenizing). This eliminates the need for separate equipment, saving space, time, and reducing part handling.

While it is specially developed for polymer powder-bed technologies (like HP MJF and SLS), it is also well-suited for surface finishing of de-powdered metal components made from non-reactive metals, making it a versatile solution for many applications.

ATEX compliance (2014/34/EU) means the S1 is designed to operate safely in environments where combustible dusts (like fine polymer powders) may be present. This is a critical safety feature for processing parts from powder-bed systems.

The S1 offers a high degree of automation. You can store up to 30 recipes in the system. For automated operation, load the parts, select the recipe, and the machine handles the rest, including nozzle positioning and cycle timing, ensuring hands-off, reproducible results.

The system is designed for easy blast media exchange, allowing you to quickly switch between different media types (like GP30, RPB-E30) to achieve various surface finishes for different applications.

This system continuously filters and conditions the blast media during operation, removing fine powder debris and broken-down media. This maintains consistent media size and quality, which is essential for achieving uniform finishing results and reducing media consumption.

The S1 is versatile. For automated processing in the rotating basket, the max part size is 300 x 200 x 150 mm. For manual blasting of larger or more complex parts, the max size is 400 x 350 x 250 mm.

The S1 features state-of-the-art software that allows for monitoring and recording of all key process parameters. This enables full traceability for quality control and provides data for optimizing your production process.
