I tried removing the powdered material remaining in the hollow part of the mitarepo!
【Mitarepo】I tried removing the residual powder material inside the model created with an SLS method 3D printer! | System Create
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products, based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 57, we used the SLS method 3D printer "Fuse 1+30W" to create a model with a complex internal shape and tested whether we could cleanly remove the powder left inside. The SLS method 3D printer has the advantage of being able to create support-free structures, unlike other printing methods. Therefore, it can produce complex shapes that are difficult to achieve with other methods. However, since the uncurled powder laid out functions as a substitute for support, hollow areas may remain filled with powder. Nevertheless, the powder left inside should be removable with the SLS method. In this document, we challenge the removal of powder remaining inside the model! We will thoroughly check the invisible interior using a CT scanner. We will explain whether it is truly possible to cleanly remove the powder material left inside, along with the removal process and CT scan images. *You can download the document using the button below.

I would be grateful if you could read this as a hint for those who are considering creating models with complex shapes.
