AMEXCI Adds Two Solukon Depowdering Systems to Boost Post-Processing Capacity

AMEXCI has bolstered its metal additive post-processing line in Örebro with two new Solukon depowdering systems, adding an SFM-AT350 and a large-frame SFM-AT1000-S to its workflow. The purchase, finalized January 22, 2026, is designed to lift throughput and make powder removal more predictable for parts with small internal channels and heat exchanger geometries.

The new SFM-AT350 will slot into material-specific cells already handling 316L stainless steel and Ti64 titanium, while the SFM-AT1000-S is intended to handle large aluminum builds such as those printed on NXG-format machines. AMEXCI already pairs large Solukon depowdering with NXG systems for big AlSi10Mg work, and the two additions increase capacity for aluminum and other large-frame industrial parts that require reliable, automated powder evacuation.

Predictable depowdering is a practical advantage for engineers and buyers. In parts with internal cooling channels, conformal passages, or dense heat-exchanger fins, inconsistent powder removal can mean blocked channels, extra blasting and machining, or scrapped builds. Automating depowdering with systems tuned by material - 316L, Ti64, AlSi10Mg - reduces manual blow-out steps and the variability that causes lead-time delays and extra labor costs. AMEXCI’s move targets exactly those pain points: fewer hours of hand-cleaning, more consistent as-built readiness for downstream finishing, and better throughput on complex geometries.

Operators at AMEXCI noted safety and throughput gains after earlier Solukon deployments, and the new machines are expected to widen that improvement across more build volume. The SFM-AT1000-S’s large chamber makes full-volume evacuation practical for big, single-piece aluminum components that previously required staged or manual cleaning. That means AMEXCI can offer faster turnaround on larger contracts and take on parts that push the limits of powder-removal logistics.

For the local and wider metal AM community, the upgrade matters because it lowers one of the more stubborn barriers to production-grade metal parts: reliable internal cleanliness. OEMs, contract manufacturers, and designers who specify internal channels for cooling or fluid routing will find clearer alignment between print capability and post-processing capacity. AMEXCI’s expanded fleet signals that service providers continue to invest in end-to-end workflows, and that aluminum large-format AM is moving from prototyping into repeatable production.

Expect AMEXCI to advertise shorter lead times for large aluminum builds and to incorporate the new depowdering capacity into project quotes. For designers, verify channel sizes and access strategies now that more predictable depowdering is available; for buyers, watch for improved delivery and lower secondary-processing risk on complex metal parts.
