Many people mix the two mentioned phrases, but they are completely different processes. Shot or grit blasting is used when we need to prepare a surface for coating, remove rust or create the right roughness. By doing this, we accelerate shot or grit (abrasive media) through a nozzle at high speed.
A unique solution that combines 3 key post-processing steps within the same product line: de-powdering, powder recovery & conditioning and surface treatment of 3D printed parts. FerroECOBlast has premiered the most advanced post-processing solutions for additive manufacturing technologies at the Formnext Connect fair last November. A user-friendly, ergonomically designed line with an aesthetic design […]
