Watch how we 3D printed and blasted 690 3D Printed Cog Wheels in a single print.
When it comes to using 3D Printing for production, the time spend per part as well as part quantity and quality are crucial factors. Let us show you the process off how we unpacked and cleaned over 600 3D printed cog wheels in one print.

How To: Our 2-Step Process
Step 1
The parts are built within the building unit of the HP Jet Fusion 5600, going from the machine to the post-processing station.
Once the build is moved there, the unpacking can begin. It is in this powder cake that we find all the 690 cog wheel parts.
The capability to print a large number of parts running a single print makes HP’s technology an excellent choice for mid to high-volume production environments. The definition of efficiency not only when it comes to reducing manufacturing time but also optimizing material usage and lowering costs per printer part.
Addinor’s Innovation Center
At the Innovation Center in Värnamo you can experience a variety of 3D Printing solutions. Each one of them suitable for different applications, whether it is for prototyping, tooling, spare parts or production.
Step 2
Once the unpacking is done, the powder which has been brushed of and can be reused for the next print project. But for our cog wheels, there is still some powder left. Next step is to remove the rest of the powder.
At Addinor our choice for this taks would be DyeMansion’s Powershot C, a blaster that cleans parts quickly and efficiently.
With its automated system, two simultaneously working blasting nozzles, it removes powder with great results. All parts were cleaned in one cycle, using glass as the blasting media.
