To expand their business activities in Canada, German Solukon Maschinenbau, pioneer and technical leader of automated powder removal, has selected Machine Tool Systems Inc. to be their distributor.
Founded in 1998 and based in Toronto, Machine Tool Systems Inc. specializes in the turnkey development of complex, precise and productivity enhancing Additive Manufacturing solutions. The company provides third-party products to meet the needs of their customers. In Canada, Machine Tool Systems Inc. among others already represents German OEM EOS. Solukon therefore put their trust in a highly experienced AM partner.
As the demand for automated and secure depowdering of metal laser-melted parts continues to grow, Machine Tool Systems Inc. has joined forces with Solukon Maschinenbau to distribute Solukon depowdering systems in Canada. Machine Tool systems, represented by President John Manley, will help potential customers explore the Solukon Smart Powder Recuperation (SPR®) technology. Solukon systems remove loose powder from metal laser melted parts within a sealed process chamber, using adjustable vibration and automated two-axis part rotation. Through programmable rotation of the build-plate in two axes, unfused metal build material is completely removed from complex channels and geometries. This means a significant increase in efficiency, security and quality while saving costs.
“All Solukon systems are compatible with the systems of German OEM EOS. Canadian prospects of Machine Tool Systems Inc. therefore rely on a qualified partner who is both perfectly familiar with the top-of-the-line systems for 3D printing and for depowdering” says Michael Sattler, Global Sales Director of Solukon. “All the best to John Manley and his team”.
John Manley, President of Machine Tool Systems Inc. adds, “We are pleased to represent Solukon on the growing Canadian AM market. Powder removal often is one of the pain points in industrial Additive Manufacturing. By partnering with Solukon we are closing the gap between manufacturing and post processing for our customers”.
