What your production engineer actually checks

What your production engineer actually checks

Reproducible, ATEX-safe blasting

Software-controlled recipes run the same blast time, pressure and basket rotation every batch — the reproducibility serial production needs. The S1 is ATEX 2014/34/EU compliant for combustible polymer dust, so it runs safely on the shop floor at ≤78 dB(A).

An applications engineer on the line

Not a ticket queue. We depowder and finish AM parts in-house (AO Metal / ATO Lab), so recipe and blast-media advice comes from the floor. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

About this product

The AM Solutions S1 is a fully automated 2-in-1 blasting cell that depowders and surface-finishes polymer and metal powder-bed 3D-printed parts in one enclosed, software-controlled cycle — no part transfer between machines, repeatable batch after batch.

Why production teams run the S1

Two post-processing steps, one enclosed cell, one recipe you can repeat.

Depowder and finish in one cell

De-cake, clean and surface-finish in a single enclosed cycle — parts never leave the chamber between steps. In a vendor case study, manual blasting of 5–8 hours dropped to about 1 hour.

Reproducible, traceable results

Software-controlled blast time, pressure and basket rotation run the same recipe every batch — the reproducibility and traceability serial production and audited workflows require.

Gentle on delicate geometry

A rotating basket and adjustable pressure spread media evenly across the batch. Match GP30, GP60, RPB-E30 or RDP to the part so thin walls and fine features survive the cycle.

ATEX-compliant & closed-loop

Compliant with ATEX 2014/34/EU for combustible polymer dust. Integrated media and dust separation keeps powder out of the shop and reuses blast media. At ≤78 dB(A) it sits on the production floor.

How the S1 runs a batch

Load, select recipe, walk away — the cell handles the cycle and separates the media.

Step 01
Load the basket

Place the build or de-caked parts into the rotating basket (2–25 L usable) and pick the stored recipe for the material and finish you need.

Step 02
Automated blast cycle

Two swiveling nozzles sweep the media stream across the rotating basket at set pressure and time. Depowdering and surface finishing run unattended inside the closed chamber.

Step 03
Separate and unload

Integrated separation pulls powder and spent media out, returns reusable media to the circuit, and leaves clean, evenly finished parts ready to inspect.

Unedited feedback from production and R&D leads.

★★★★★ 4.9 / 5 · 24 reviews
★★★★★

We folded depowdering and finishing into one S1 cycle and retired a separate manual station. Same finish, every batch, across three operators.

★★★★★

The ATEX rating cleared our EHS review fast — combustible nylon dust had been the blocker on automating blasting.

★★★★★

Recipe control made SLS results repeatable. Parts come out consistent instead of depending on who ran the cabinet.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Does the S1 depowder or surface-finish — or both?
The AM Solutions S1 does both in one enclosed cycle. It is a 2-in-1 blasting cell that de-cakes and cleans powder-bed parts and then homogenizes and smooths the surface, without moving parts to a second machine. A rotating basket and two swiveling nozzles distribute blast media evenly across the batch under a stored, software-controlled recipe.
Which 3D printing processes and materials is the S1 for?
The S1 is built for powder-bed polymer processes — SLS, MJF, HSS and SAF (PA11, PA12 and similar nylons). It also smooths and homogenizes de-powdered, non-explosive metal AM parts. For reactive or wet-process metal cleaning, the S1 Wet is the better fit. An Additive Plus applications engineer can confirm the right cell for your material.
What part sizes fit in the S1?
In the rotating basket the S1 handles parts up to 300 × 200 × 150 mm, with a usable basket volume of 2–25 L. Larger parts up to 400 × 350 × 250 mm can be blasted by hand in the same chamber. Minimum part size is about 5 × 5 × 5 mm. The blast chamber itself measures 1050 × 1150 × 960 mm (41.3 × 42.5 × 37.8 in).
Is the S1 safe for combustible polymer dust?
Yes. The S1 is compliant with ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, which covers the combustible dust generated when blasting nylon and other polymer AM parts. Integrated media and dust separation keeps powder contained and reuses blast media in a closed loop, so the machine can sit on the production floor rather than in a separate room.
What blast media does the S1 use?
AM Solutions recommends GP30, GP60, RPB-E30 and RDP media, matched to the part material and target finish. Media is conditioned and recirculated inside the S1 and is quick to exchange between jobs. Additive Plus supplies the media alongside the machine so you are not sourcing consumables separately.
How much time does the S1 save versus manual blasting?
In a vendor case study, manual blasting that took 5–8 hours was reduced to about one hour on the S1 — a time reduction of more than 60%. Because the cycle is automated and recipe-driven, an operator loads the basket and the S1 runs unattended, freeing labor for other tasks and keeping results consistent across shifts.
What is the lead time and what is included?
The S1 is built and configured to order, typically 6–9 weeks. Every S1 from Additive Plus includes install and operator training plus validated process recipes, so your team runs known-good parameters from day one. Blast media, spares and service are handled through one US point of contact.
Can the S1 process metal parts?
Yes — the S1 smooths and homogenizes de-powdered, non-explosive metal AM parts as a light surface-prep step. For cleaning reactive metals or dust-free wet processing, Additive Plus recommends the S1 Wet, which uses a water-slurry blast and needs no ATEX compliance. An engineer can help you choose between the two.
