Metal AM Solukon Maschinenbau GmbH, Augsburg, Germany, reports that its SFM-AT800-S depowdering system, which was co-developed with Siemens, has been beta tested on the shop floor by both MBFZ toolcraft GmbH and Morf3D with promising results. The SFM-AT800-S uses an intelligent algorithm developed by Siemens to rotate a metal additively manufactured part for depowdering in a sequence calculated from the CAD geometry, draining the residual powder from intricate cavities such as conformal cooling channels.

Thomas Blog When it comes to branding, the big names with strong name — and logo — recognition probably come to mind first. Many manufacturing and industrial companies, however, don't think that they need to worry about branding.
