AM Solutions has unveiled the M4 Basic, a compact, entry-level post-processing solution for industrial 3D printing users.
The new vibratory finishing system from the Rösler Group's additive manufacturing-focused brand is said to be 'within reach of virtually any additive manufacturing user' and is geared towards those looking for a cost-effective solution to finish their 3D printed parts.
Described as 'single, plug-and-play unit' offering a wide range of finishing options, the M4 Basic can be used for polymer and metal parts up to 70 × 70 × 25 mm in size, and produced by stereolithography, selective laser sintering, MJF or selective laser melting. AM Solutions believes the machine, which has been designed for easy installation with lockable rollers and a standard 230 V connection, will be well suited to job shops, service bureaus and in-house AM teams.
“At AM Solutions we see a clear shift: even smaller AM users are under pressure to deliver consistent, production-grade surfaces,” says Colin Spellacy, Head of UK Sales at AM Solutions. “With the M4 Basic we’re giving them a realistic, affordable way to replace improvised manual steps with a controlled, repeatable process. It’s a gateway into true industrial post-processing.”
Per a press release, the M4 Basic combines a 20-litre rotary vibrator with an integrated 25-litre process water tank, extending process-water life and reducing downtime. This closed-loop approach, together with lower water and power consumption, keeps operating costs down while minimising environmental impact.
“Quality, repeatability and efficiency in post-processing are no longer optional,” Spellacy added. “With the M4 Basic, we’re making that standard accessible to everyone in the AM value chain.
