Inert Gas Management System
Inert De-Powdering Enclosure.
Inert, a provider of custom-built glove boxes and gas management systems, is showcasing its new De-Powdering Enclosure at RAPID+TCT.
As part of its ongoing effort to promote its technology’s benefits to players in the additive manufacturing space, Inert is encouraging RAPID attendees to visit Booth #1147 to see its gas management system. The De-Powdering Enclosure is designed to equally protect operators from unhealthy exposure and metal powders from atmospheric contamination.
Inert believes the system would benefit manufacturers in the post-processing stages of a build by safely collecting excess metal powders from printed parts for re-use. This would save money, and waste. Conducted within an argon atmosphere controlled by Inert’s Argon-2 Gas Management System, the de-powdering procedure successfully avoids contamination from oxygen, moisture, dust, organic matter, and plastic. Any of these substances could require costly tracing and removal, or even render the metal powders useless. By keeping airborne powder particulate within Inert’s controlled atmosphere also eliminates user health risks, damage to area electronics, and fire hazards related to the combustibility to titanium powders.
A recent partnership with Sievgen sees Inert also featuring the Sievgen 04 automated sieving station at its booth. This technology allows users to safely work with, weigh and measure, reclaim, and transfer powders, metal or otherwise.
Inert specialises in customisable solutions for aerospace, medical devices, and other additive manufacturing applications that use metal powders. The company is present at RAPID+TCT for the duration of the event, presenting its De-Powdering Enclosure from Booth #1147.
