Automated support removal and surface finishing for 3D printed parts

The DECI Duo™ automates support removal and surface finishing with Thermal Atomized Fusillade (TAF) technology. This technology uses two perpendicular, single-axis jet streams of compressed air, detergent, and suspended solids to provide targeted blast sequences while rotating the part 360° for maximum surface exposure.

Long Description:

The patent-pending DECI Duo™ automates surface finishing for a number of 3D printing technologies such as FDM, Metals, Polyjet, SLS, CLIP, MULTIJET FUSION, SLA and many more. The DECI Duo™ offers rapid cycle times for even the most complex parts, including those with internal channels, organic shapes, and honeycombs, and is designed with a space-saving size that maximizes production floor space.

Through a combination of optimized energy, exclusive chemistry including detergents and suspended solids, the system is guided by proprietary AUTOMAT3D® software to provide the desired surface finish while preserving fine-detail part geometries. The DECI Duo™ thinks like a member of your team, monitoring and reacting in real-time to maintain optimal conditions with sophisticated features like pre-programmed preventative maintenance schedules, intelligent cycle time programming, and one-touch repeatability with recipes stored within the software.

Advantages

2-in-1

The DECI Duo™ not only removes support from a broad range of 3D printed materials using technologies such as FDM, DMLS, SLM, DED, Polyjet, SLS, CLIP, Multijet Fusion, SLA and many others, it also automates surface finishing using a number of suspended solids all in the same chamber making it an actual Clean In Place (CIP) system.

Innovative Design

The DECI Duo™ comes with a fully welded stainless steel chamber that provides corrosion resistance, a hinged electrical panel design that allows for easy access for maintaining the controls and motor, an automated turntable to fixture parts to ensure parts are held in place during operation, a pass-through door capability, an LED lighted chamber, noise-reducing features for low dBA, an easy to maintain pumping system and casters for easy installation or relocation.

Thorough

Ideal for the quickest cycle time on advanced materials such as resins, thermoplastics and metals, the DECI Duo™ finishes even the most complex parts including those with internal channels, organic geometries and honeycombs. Anywhere water can flow, the DECI Duo™ can clean.

Thermal Atomized Fusillade (TAF) technology

The DECI Duo™ is engineered to utilize an automated Thermal Atomized Fusillade (TAF) technology that is configurable based on a specific operational need. This technology uses two perpendicular, single-axis jet streams of compressed air, detergent, and suspended particles to give focused blast sequences and rotate the part 360° for optimal surface exposure. This allows for easy support removal and surface finishing of 3D printed parts.

Automatic and Manual Operation Settings

The DECI Duo™ can be operated in automatic and completely manual mode. It is important to keep in mind that the configured AUTOMAT3D modes are optimized for the most efficient operation. However, manual mode may be preferred when an operator is experimenting with new geometries or parameters.

Four primary settings can be adjusted in the Auto Setup screen; Air Percentage, Liquid Percentage, Time and Temperature. In addition, the speed, direction, and boundaries can be set for both the top and side nozzles. The turntable direction and speed can also be easily adjusted.

There are two options within Manual mode: Manual Run mode (used for troubleshooting or experimenting with new geometries or parameters) or Glove Port mode (circulates the solution through a stationary top nozzle - used when an operator prefers to handle the part for some of all of the processing.).

Intelligent Software

With pre-programmed formulas, AUTOMAT3D® removes the guesswork from post-printing and lowers operator labor time. Features include: Agitation algorithms, Intelligent cycle times, customizable settings, one-touch repeatability with recipes storage, media separation sequence among many other things.

Safety Features

Compliant with all OSHA regulations the DECI Duo™ comes with a number of safety features.It runs pre-programmed preventative maintenance schedules, Dosatron maintenance scheduling, emergency stop, door safety locks, external LED lighted chamber and many more.
