Managing metal powders in 3D printing environments just got a serious upgrade. Whether you’re focused on efficiency, safety, or print quality, these two new solutions from Xact Metal are designed to elevate your workflow.

🔧 Dual Glovebox: Smarter Powder Control Starts Here

Replacing the older single-glovebox design, the new Dual Glovebox offers a major leap in functionality, ergonomics, and safety. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Spacious Interior: A wide glovebox door provides easier access for handling powder and tools inside the chamber.
  • Ergonomic Viewing Window: A large, centered viewing window gives operators clear visibility into the build chamber for more accurate and confident handling.
  • Built-in Storage: Internal storage space keeps essential powder-handling tools and powder bottles within easy reach.
  • Entry Port for Powder Addition: Powder can be added without opening the main printer door—especially valuable for oxygen-sensitive materials. The chamber can be purged before loading, maintaining a controlled environment.
  • Safety Interlock System: To protect users, the system disables the laser and blower motor when the outer door is open.

🧪 XMSieve: Clean, Safe, and Efficient Powder Reclamation

The XMSieve is purpose-built for non-reactive metal powders, allowing for quick, safe, and hands-free sieving. It ensures only clean, uncontaminated powder enters your build chamber.

How it works:

  1. Connect a container of used powder to the top of the unit.
  2. Activate the ultrasonic generator.
  3. >Powder flows through a mesh screen via gate valves.
  4. Clean powder collects in a fresh container below—ready for reuse.
