Description:
One of the main advantages of 3d printing by metal is internal cavities, channels. They are used for liquid transfer, infill by resin, working fluid or other materials - to provide unique properties or functions. During 3d-printing, the powder is staying in all unmelted parts of the layer. As a result, cavities are filled with metal powder. The aim is to make a device for cleaning first and charging as an option of cavities using a small vacuum chamber.
