2020 EOS IPM M Setup Station

Key Purpose: It provides a safe, controlled environment for post-build unpacking of the exchangeable build frame (including the build plate and parts) directly from the printer. All operations occur under inert gas (typically argon or nitrogen), which:
Protects reactive metal powders from oxidation or contamination.
Minimizes operator exposure to fine metal powder.
Maintains powder quality for reuse.

Main Features & Benefits: Dual-side access – Comfortable, ergonomic unpacking from both sides for faster workflow.
Gas-tight design – Fully sealed chamber keeps the process inert throughout unpacking.
Optional Unpack Module – Can be integrated for automated powder removal, further reducing manual handling and cycle time.
Seamless integration – Works with EOS Shared Modules, exchangeable frames, and the broader IPM (Integrated Powder Management) ecosystem for closed-loop powder handling.
Compact footprint – Designed for shop-floor use alongside EOS printers without requiring extensive additional space.
