Handsaeme Machinery is finding practical ways to innovate in manufacturing. Using the iSLM280 industrial metal 3D printer by ZRapid Technologies, they’ve developed a custom aluminum splitter for their dust extraction system, addressing a common challenge in a simple, efficient way.

This splitter allows one vacuum cleaner to extract dust from two different locations. Traditionally, creating such a part would require complex designs and extensive welding. However, by leveraging the capabilities of the iSLM280, Handsaeme was able to design and produce the splitter in a single piece. The result is a lightweight, strong component that perfectly fits their needs.

This is a great example of how 3D printing can simplify complex manufacturing problems, offering both flexibility and strength in the final product.
