THE CHALLENGE
|
HP’s Venturi flow meter is a quality control tool that is used to detect air leakages from a vacuuming system. If the amount of leaked air is higher than the threshold, then the air with powder in suspension would be released to the atmosphere, thus compromising environmental safety.

In order to precisely calculate the air flow for this device, the parts’ walls must be as smooth as possible to minimize the pressure drop caused by the stepped surfaces. The accuracy of this application’s holes is also very important: Pressure sensors are threaded into the small holes, which must be sealed properly.

RESULTS
Manufacturing with HP MJF results in parts with smooth surfaces that require hardly any post-processing.
