The industry standard
for easy and efficient part cleaning
Automated depowdering boosts your production capacity
With our proprietary PolyShot Cleaning (PSC), a mid-sized build job is cleaned in ten minutes or less. That cuts both the time and the personnel your production needs for part cleaning – one Powershot C replaces up to four manual blasting systems.
Gentle part treatment thanks to smart hardware features
The cabinet of the Powershot C is made of stainless steel and equipped with a rotary basket whose soft, replaceable lining protects your parts. Two blasting nozzles work simultaneously, positioned perpendicular to the rotating basket, while an ionization unit and the cyclone – which cleans the media constantly – ensure efficient, reproducible powder removal.
A touchscreen and integrated control panel put process control at your fingertips. Start preinstalled programs, or configure and save your own to adapt quickly to your application. The user-centric design keeps everything easy to reach and safe to operate, with continuous monitoring for an efficient and reproducible process.
AT A GLANCE
The Powershot C is an automated post-processing / blasting system for depowdering 3D-printed polymer parts made with powder bed technologies. It removes residual powder — the loose powder that clings to a part after it comes out of the printer — using a blasting process with glass media: parts sit in a rotary basket inside a closed chamber, the basket turns, and blasting media strips the powder from every surface without an operator having to handle each part or aim a nozzle. A cycle runs on a pre-loaded program and takes 3 to 10 minutes.
The Powershot C processes parts from SLS, MJF or SAF powder bed printing and is material-agnostic: rigid materials such as PA11, PA12 and PAEK, including glass- and carbon-filled variants, as well as flexible materials such as TPU, TPE and PP. It works with printers from HP, EOS, Stratasys, 3D Systems, Sinterit, Formlabs, Farsoon and others. The rotary basket has an effective volume of 26 litres (6.8 gal), which holds up to three-quarters of an EOS P396 build, one full HP Jet Fusion 4200/5200 build, or close to 1.5 full-sized Stratasys H350 build jobs per cycle.
Cleaning is the first step of the DyeMansion Print-to-Product Workflow. The Powershot C is the dedicated option for it — built for teams whose parts need reliable depowdering, whether as the finished state or as preparation for surfacing and coloring downstream. You can also depowder with the Powershot Go, Powershot X and Powershot Dual Performance – those systems can surface as well. The Powershot C is the only system that is just for part cleaning.
It's that easy with the Powershot C
Load
Parts go into the rotary basket. There is no need to fix or orient them individually, and mixed part sizes can share a load.
Select a program
Programs are pre-loaded for the relevant material and finish. The operator selects one rather than setting blasting parameters by hand.
Run
The basket rotates inside the closed chamber while blasting media removes residual powder from all sides. A typical cycle takes 3 to 10 minutes.
Unload
Parts come out clean and ready for the next step — usually surfacing in the Powershot X, Dual Performance or VX1/Powerfuse for Vapor Smoothing.
CUSTOMER VOICES
“The Powershot C system allows us to reduce processing times in blasting by up to 80%. The surface finish it provides is also much more consistent than parts blasted by hand.”
“We call the DyeMansion Powershot C the “bottleneck buster”. The Powershot C de-powders the parts quickly, consistently with a superior finish and maintains part accuracy.”
THE RIGHT FIT
Is the Powershot C the right Fit for your needs?
- You own an industrial powder bed 3D printer printer or more
- You have a need for an automated depowdering solution (not surfacing)
- A good quality of your parts is important to you or your customers
- You want to save costs and manual labor in your production
- You are interested in doing other post-processing steps or are doing those already – the Powershot C is the entry point into the connected DyeMansion Print-to-Product workflow

THE FINISH
THE POWERSHOT CMAKES A DIFFERENCE!
PolyShot Cleaning
Use the slider and take a look at what a difference Powershot Cleaning makes compared to uncleaned parts straight out of the printer – using the example of white and gray base material.
Automated cleaning with the Powershot C can save you up to 80% reduction in processing time versus manual blasting. In some workflows a single Powershot C replaces the throughput of several manual blasting stations.
Two blasting media are available: standard glass media, and DyeMansion’s proprietary plastic media, which is less aggressive on delicate geometries and elastomeric materials and therefore reduces the risk of surface damage. The right media for a given material and target finish is an applications question rather than a fixed setting.
Running costs come down to three items — media consumption, compressed air, and electrical power at approximately 1 kW. Because no large minimum media fill is required, cost per part falls quickly as batch size rises. DyeMansion can model a cost-per-part figure for a specific part mix and volume as part of a benchmark, which is a firmer basis for a business case than a generic number.
