Boston, April 14th, 2026 – Raise3D, a global leader in additive manufacturing solutions, today unveiled their B520 SLS sandblaster alongside their SLS powders at Rapid + TCT 2026. This marks a significant expansion of Raise3D’s SLS 3D printing portfolio and reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to scalable, end-use additive manufacturing.
Designed to address the challenges of high-efficiency output and complex large-scale part production, Raise3D now delivers an integrated SLS workflow for continuous, high-throughput manufacturing and post-processing, helping accelerate the transition from prototyping to true digital production.
Raise3D RMS220 Solution
B520: From Printed to Production-Ready – In One Seamless Step.
B520 is an industrial-grade automated blasting system designed to replace manual depowdering with an efficient, repeatable, and scalable system. It features the Easy Swap Basket, an industry-first that allows seamless switching between blasting, transporting, and storage of up to 30L per cycle. This provides compatibility with the larger formats of SLS machines currently available on the market.
Equipped with a sealed chamber, precision-controlled media flow, and programmable parameters, B520 ensures high consistent, high-quality surface finishes. Its optimized airflow and filtration system provides cleaner, safer operations with reduced variability. An optional polishing module further extends functionality, enabling a one-stop post-processing workflow. With an intuitive process requiring less than 5 minutes of manual handling, the B520 significantly improves efficiency and production consistency.
