POST-PROCESSING FOR 3D PRINTING

POST-PROCESSING FOR 3D PRINTING

Many new innovative post-processing techniques are being developed for 3D-printed components to keep pace with the advances in AM technologies. By working with the subsidiary PRES-X, a high-tech post-processing hub and the only company in Italy to have installed a Quintus Technologies machine for HIPing, BEAMIT Group cover all the finishing phases for components from the more common to the most advanced.
The revolutionary technologies offered by the Group are meticulously selected to optimise the performance of individual components and meet customer requests. The offering is completed by a specialist technical team with the expertise to ensure processes are safe and repeatable, and minimise the margin of error.
OUR POST-PROCESSING SERVICES

SUPPORTS REMOVAL AND FINISHES
The manual or automated removal of the supports needed in 3D printing and finishing components with cutting-edge technologies enables us to achieve optimal surface quality.

CNC MACHINING
BEAMIT Group has a specialist department for vacuum and in-air heat treatments, which are fundamental processes for achieving the highest levels of performance from an AM component.

HEAT TREATMENTS
BEAMIT Group has a specialist department for vacuum and in-air heat treatments, which are fundamental processes for achieving the highest levels of performance from an AM component.

DEPOWDERING AND CLEANING COMPONENTS
Using innovative methods to remove residual powder, PRES-X technicians can ensure that the characteristic cavities associated with AM-designed components are fully depowdered.

HIP AND HPHT
PRES-X was the first company in the world to install a Quintus Technologies QIH 60 system, a technology specifically designed to perform high-pressure heat treatments on AM components.

DryLyte® ELECTROPOLISHING
PRES-X is the heart of research and development of innovative green DryLyte® electropolishing technologies, the first dry electropolishing system designed for the surface finishing of metal components.

Chemical Milling
At PRES-X, a method for fine-tuning and validating the chemical milling process has been developed, making it repeatable and controlled for every possible use.
