Sinterit PHS Powder Handling Station
The growing demand for faster SLS 3D printers – the Lisa X and Nils 480 – challenged Sinterit to launch a new version of the popular PHS. With the tremendous increase in powder volume that could be printed at once, the postprocessing and powder handling with new, faster PHS.
Additive manufacturing is not just 3D printing, but a process with a lot of important steps including post processing. Especially in SLS technology when you operate with powder that could be reused so the ability to retrieve as much as possible is crucial. The process should be clean and fast.
Recently, Sinterit has presented two new SLS 3D printers. Lisa X became the fastest and biggest compact printer in the company’s range, whilst the NILS 480 is the first industrial-grade model. Reinventing the PHS was required. But making it faster is not the only change…
The current Powder Handling Station offers a new UX. It guides you step by step through the whole post-processing. It is more friendly, especially to those who just switched to SLS technology. The PHS works with the ATEX Vacuum Cleaner and the SLS Sandblaster like it was before, but now you don’t have to plug all of these peripheral devices separately. After those changes, the postprocessing of a typical printout will last about 15 minutes of the user’s time.
