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.
