Wematter launches improved waterjet cabinet for 3D prints with faster powder removal

Density 2021 offers a number of improvements that makes finishing parts 3D-printed with powder bed technology more ergonomic for the user

Wematter is launching Density 2021, an improved model of their successful SLS 3D-printing water-jet cabinet, formerly known as the BlasThing Cabinet. The cleaning chamber now has a white interior and more light sources, creating a brighter and clearer work environment. Additionally, the machinery that cleans the window glass is now encapsulated. This makes the machine significantly quieter and more robust during operation.

A specially-adapted ventilation system has been installed to lower the humidity in the chamber, create a healthier climate, and reduce the risk of bacterial growth. For times when a print has been cleaned with water and needs to be tested quickly, you can now use compressed air to blow off excess powder and speed up the drying process. This can also be used to check for remaining powder after cleaning, or to clear out cavities in a safe environment.

“The new Density gives users better ergonomics and an improved work environment. The user will be able to clean the parts faster and make their prints ready to use immediately. These improvements take Density to a whole new level,” says founder and CEO Robert Kniola.

Some of the new features in Density 2021

  • Three times as many light sources, with a more natural light flow for more even lighting and a clearer environment
  • White walls for a brighter build chamber
  • New mechanics for cleaning the window, which provide lower noise levels
  • New ventilation system that lowers humidity in the chamber
  • Compact design that reduces the height by 12 centimeters
  • Drip stop that collects water under the coarse filter during filter changes
  • Possibility to use compressed air to dry prints faster
  • Improved water circulation system which provides better water flow during operation

A new powder-recycling system, Inertia, is introduced for Wematter’s fleet of machines

Along with the new 2021 models of Gravity and Density, Wematter is launching a powder collector called the Inertia. The Inertia recycles used powder and cleans the Gravity’s build chamber. The powder is stored in sealed bags, which are then sent to Wematter’s office for processing. The material is then reused.
