Compatible with a broad range of industrial‑grade powder‑bed fusion polymers, it efficiently eliminates unsintered powder remaining on part surfaces, within internal cavities, and in narrow crevices. It supports common 3D‑printing polymers such as PA11, PA12, and TPU, and is compatible with parts manufactured on SLS printers from leading brands including EOS, Farsoon, and 3D Systems. The device employs standardized operating procedures and an ergonomically designed architecture that aligns with the fundamental requirements of industrial production. With a low operational barrier, it can be deployed standalone as part of the cleaning step in a 3D‑printing production line or integrated with DyeMansion’s surface‑treatment and dyeing systems to form a complete post‑processing workflow. Whether handling small‑batch prototype fabrication or medium‑scale production runs, the Powershot C delivers reliable cleaning performance, establishing a pristine part substrate for subsequent surface finishing, coloring, and other downstream processes—making it an indispensable tool in industrial 3D‑printing operations.

Working principle
The Powershot C utilizes PolyShot Cleaning technology to remove excess powder from 3D‑printed parts. Its core operating principle involves high‑velocity jets of specialized polymer pellets that physically impact and dislodge unsintered powder from the part’s surface and internal cavities, while an internal airflow circulation system separates and recovers the pellets from the powder. Upon startup, the 3D‑printed part to be cleaned is securely mounted on a dedicated fixture and placed inside a sealed processing chamber. The fixture can be adjusted to accommodate different part sizes, ensuring stability throughout the cleaning process. An internal pellet‑delivery system transports the polymer pellets to the spray nozzle; compressed air propels the pellets at a consistent velocity and pressure onto the part’s surface. The pellets’ hardness and particle size are specially engineered to effectively remove loose, unsintered powder without damaging the part’s structural integrity or surface finish. For hard‑to‑reach areas such as internal channels and narrow crevices, the system can achieve comprehensive cleaning by adjusting the spray angle and the fixture’s rotational speed. Simultaneously, a negative‑pressure airflow system within the chamber continuously captures the detached unsintered powder and polymer pellets, which are then separated by a dedicated separator: the pellets are recycled, while the powder is collected in a designated container, enabling material recovery and reuse. The entire cleaning process is precisely controlled by software, allowing users to tailor parameters such as jet pressure, duration, and fixture rotation speed based on the part’s material and geometry, thereby ensuring consistent cleaning performance.

Moreover, one‑click initiation of the cleaning cycle minimizes human intervention and boosts the throughput of each unit. In terms of performance, the system employs a recyclable polymer‑pellet design that substantially reduces consumable costs, while its negative‑pressure powder‑recovery system captures unsintered powder, improving material utilization and aligning with the cost‑control requirements of industrial manufacturing. Additionally, the compact overall structure occupies minimal floor space, enabling flexible deployment across 3D‑printing facilities of varying scales; the chamber volume can accommodate parts of diverse sizes, offering considerable processing flexibility. The device also supports basic process‑parameter storage, allowing users to save settings for different parts and retrieve them quickly during batch production, ensuring consistent process repeatability. Finally, its modular core components and easily replaceable wear parts, combined with straightforward routine maintenance procedures, help minimize downtime and meet the demands of continuous industrial operations.

The pace of technological obsolescence in electronic devices is staggering, and the resulting e-waste problem is growing increasingly severe. Conventional environmental monitoring sensors—particularly those for temperature and humidity—often rely on non‑degradable plastic substrates (such as PET or PE) and toxic metal materials. Not only are these components difficult to recycle, but their degradation can release harmful microplastic particles, contaminating the environment. Is it possible to develop sensors that are both high‑performance and environmentally friendly—perhaps even nearly “invisible”? A recent study published in Small Methods offers an exciting answer: by leveraging aerosol jet printing (AJP), researchers have successfully fabricated a highly transparent, ultra‑compact, and ultra‑low‑material‑consumption integrated temperature–humidity sensor on a biodegradable cellulose substrate. This could herald the dawn of next‑generation green electronics.
When you casually discard an electronic sensor, you may not realize that it could persist in the soil for centuries, becoming “electronic waste” that pollutes the environment. Today, the global Internet of Things is experiencing explosive growth: by 2025, more than 30 billion devices are expected to be deployed, bringing with them tens of millions of tons of electronic waste annually and depleting critical mineral resources. However, a groundbreaking study published in npj Advanced Manufacturing has opened new avenues for eco‑friendly electronics: a research team from Northwestern University and other institutions has successfully developed fully biodegradable printed electronic sensors using aerosol jet printing. From the substrate to the ink, everything is derived entirely from biomass, delivering exceptional performance while naturally breaking down at the end of its lifecycle—truly embodying the principle of “from nature, back to nature.”
