Despite advances in additive manufacturing (AM) technology many processes still require post-process finishing to produce a component with an acceptable finish.

Wet blasting (or vapor blasting) finishes AM components to a very high standard - beyond the finish achieved by CNC in the case of metal components. Other benefits include:

Our new Puma + with barrel automatic wet blasting (vapor blasting) machine is perfect for the rapid finishing of additive manufactured (AM) components.

It’s one of three machines that make up our recommended range for finishing AM components. The other two are the new Puma with optional barrel and our highly successful Vapormate manual machines.

You can see the new Puma + with barrel and Vapormate on our stand, C49, Hall 12, at Formnext in Frankfurt – 7 to 10th November.
