Abstract
An automated de-powdering system comprises a sleeve alignable with at least a portion of a build chamber and at least one actuator actuatable with respect to a build plate to move at least a portion of an additive manufacturing build out of the build chamber and into the sleeve. At least one support assembly is couplable to the sleeve and includes at least one support member insertable through the sleeve and into the additive manufacturing build. At least one agitation mechanism is couplable to at least one of the at least one support assembly or the sleeve and is actuatable to at least partially convey the powder build material away from at least one object of the additive manufacturing build. The support member is positioned to support the object in an absence of the powder build material around the object.
