An adapter for connecting a component to a build plate holder of a system for removing powder from the component, comprising:
- a body having a primary surface for contacting the build plate holder and a secondary surface for contacting a mounting surface of the component;
- and
- at least one connector for coupling the component to the body.
A system for removing powder from an additively manufactured component, comprising:
- a powder removal mechanism including:
- a build plate holder having a build plate opening;
- at least one actuator operable to move the build plate holder relative to an axis;
- an adapter having a primary surface and a secondary surface, the adapter being positionable within the build plate opening such that the primary surface is in contact with a surface of the build plate holder defining the build plate opening and the secondary surface is in contact with a mounting surface of the component;
- and
- at least one connector for connecting the component to the adapter.
