We will fully automate the detection of metal powder particles in metal additive manufacturing, from size measurement and elemental analysis to report generation.
For inquiries about this product, please visit our website below. https://www.kbk.co.jp/ja The Explorer4 automatic particle analysis device for metal 3D printers is a system that integrates EDX and automatic analysis software with an SEM, allowing for the automatic detection of thousands of particles and obtaining size information and elemental composition for each individual particle. The operation is simple: the user sets the sample in the device, calls up a pre-set analysis recipe, and starts the analysis, which will be fully automated up to the report output.

basic information
SEM is the only method that can accurately measure the entire range of powders used in additive manufacturing. Laser diffraction can measure spherical particles in the small particle size range (when used as DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and SLM (Selective Laser Melting) printers), but when using EBM (Electron Beam Melting) equipment, there is a possibility that larger particles may be misclassified. Conversely, image analysis is suitable for measuring larger particles but cannot measure smaller ones. Explorer4 can accommodate all size ranges of powders used in metal additive manufacturing from 200 nm to several mm. Explorer4 can measure the maximum diameter, minimum diameter, perimeter, shape, and sphericity of each particle of the powder used in metal additive manufacturing (Metal Additive Manufacturing) in metal 3D printers. ● For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Company information
Since its establishment in 1947, Kyokuto Trading has been an engineering trading company primarily focused on machinery-related fields, consistently responding to domestic and international needs and striving to handle advanced technologies and products. With the passage of time, we have also incorporated several manufacturers into our group companies, evolving into a corporate group that embodies the characteristics of a manufacturing trading company. With the arrival of the new era "Reiwa," Kyokuto Trading has renewed its management philosophy from "Providing necessary technology to necessary companies" to "Becoming a bridge between needs and seeds," marking a new start. Not limited to visible technologies, and not just to the necessary companies requiring systems and know-how, Kyokuto Trading aims to become a bridge that connects "needs" and "seeds" to society that requires a plus one. We will evolve into a corporate group that provides "fulfillment" and "satisfaction" not only to our business partners but to society as a whole.
