In metal additive manufacturing (AM), precision is everything — from powder purity to final part performance. But even tiny traces of moisture in the production environment can cause major problems:

  • Oxidation of metal powder during layering or sintering
  • Porosity and inconsistent density in finished components
  • Embrittlement of welds due to oxygen and moisture absorption
  • Build failures and stress test rejections caused by poor atmosphere control

These issues don’t just affect product quality — they waste time, increase costs, and can cause compliance failures in critical sectors like aerospace, defence, and transport, where material integrity is non-negotiable.

The Solution: The Easidew Moisture Sensor

The Michell Easidew Sensor delivers continuous, accurate measurement of dew point and moisture content, ensuring a dry, stable, and inert atmosphere for every build.

  • Simple installation with a wide range of process connections
  • Quick setup and reconfiguration via the Easidew & Pura kit
  • Supplied with a traceable calibration certificate
  • Supported by a cost-saving service exchange program

At the heart of the Easidew is Michell’s Ceramic Metal-Oxide Moisture Sensor technology — proven for its reliability and long-term stability in demanding industrial applications.
Control your process atmosphere, protect your builds and ensure consistent, high-quality output with the Easidew Moisture Sensor.
