Recoat Blade A recoat blade is used in powder bed fusion printers (SLS, SLM, EBM) to spread a thin layer of powder material evenly across the build platform. It ensures consistent layer thickness, density, and surface finish. Recoat blades are made from durable materials like stainless steel or silicone to withstand high temperatures and abrasive powders. Proper blade alignment and speed ensure smooth powder deposition, preventing layer shifting or contamination. Recoat blades enhance print consistency, accuracy, and mechanical properties. |
