Systems for post-processing additively manufactured objects

A system for processing additively manufactured objects, the system comprising:

• a rotor configured to support a plurality of additively manufactured objects having excess material thereon;
• an actuator configured to spin the rotor so as to remove the excess material from the plurality of additively manufactured objects;
• and
• an energy source configured to apply energy to the plurality of additively manufactured objects to selectively alter a material property of a portion of each of the plurality of additively manufactured objects.

A system comprising:

• a controller;
• an energy source coupled to the controller, wherein the energy source is operative to apply energy in response to instructions from the controller;
• an actuator coupled to the controller, wherein the actuator is operative to deliver mechanical energy in response to a drive signal from the controller;
• and
• a rotor coupled to the actuator, wherein the rotor comprises one or more mounting structures shaped to mount a plurality of additively manufactured objects thereon, and wherein the rotor is operative to rotate about an axis of rotation in response to the mechanical energy from the actuator, thereby removing excess material from the plurality of additively manufactured objects.
