PLT-9456-1

We recognise the critical nature of the metal powder in our systems from a quality and safety perspective, which is why the MetalFab is designed to minimise the exposure of powder particles to oxygen, moisture and human contact.


The Powder Load Tool (PLT) can be filled with metal powder directly at the atomization source under inert conditions and transported to site to be loaded into the MetalFab system. 

 

The PLT ensures that powder not in the MetalFab is constantly kept under inert conditions and can be loaded to the system at any point it is needed, including while the system is printing.
