M4

The M4 is a compact, fully automated 2-in-1 system for the efficient post-processing of 3D-printed metal and plastic parts – manufactured using technologies such as SLS, MJF, HSS, SAF, SLM, and more.

Specially designed for larger workpieces and batches, it processes components with a maximum size of up to Ø 185 mm and combines proven mass (vibratory) finishing technology with a powerful cleaning centrifuge in a space-saving housing.

The M4 covers a wide range of processing: smoothing, grinding, polishing, deburring, matting and cleaning – reliable, reproducible and efficient. At the core of the machine, a rotary vibrator with a vibrating working bowl, combined with water, compound and media, ensures the mechanical processing of the workpieces. The integrated control technology enables precise process control with storable processing programs, individually tailored to  material, geometry and surface finish requirements.

In combination with our in-house developed process media, precisely matched  to the requirements of the machine, the system guarantees maximum process performance and consistently high, reproducible quality.

A special highlight is the fully integrated process water management system with a cleaning centrifuge and connected process water treatment.

It offers a number of benefits for large batch processing:

• Cost-efficient: Process water is recirculated and treated – reducing fresh water consumption and minimizing the use of expensive additives
• Eco-friendly: Less waste water and minimal re-dosing of process medium results in greater sustainability and longer service life
• Consistent process quality: Stable water quality through the removal of contamination ensures reproducible processing results
• Economic efficiency: Low operating and maintenance costs enable a fast return on investment

Since the M4 does not require a fresh water or waste water connection, it offers maximum flexibility in terms of installation selection. Other practical features – such as the intuitive HMI, integrated sound insulation for noise reduction, and user-friendly plug-and-play installation –round off the system.

With the automated 2-in-1 post-processing solution, you can optimise your processes in the long term – especially with higher throughput volumes: manual work steps are eliminated, workpiece throughput and efficiency increase, while operating and unit costs are significantly reduced. At the same time, you benefit from consistently high surface quality, reproducibility and scalability.
