Devices, Systems, and Methods for Post-Processing of Additive-Manufactured Workpieces

Abstract

Post-processing devices and post-processing systems are described, as are methods for post-processing additive-manufactured workpieces with said devices and systems. The post-processing device comprises a chamber comprising: an opening configured to receive a suspended build carrier for retaining a workpiece; one or more inlet configured to receive a nozzle for delivering a pressurized substance to the workpiece; and one or more vent to allow for pressure to be released from the chamber, wherein at least one inlet is located opposite the opening, and wherein the at least one inlet is configured to deliver the pressurized substance in a flow direction that opposes gravity.
