Manual Cleaning creates Bottlenecks – and traceability Gaps
Additive manufacturing gives you design freedom for engine components, structural parts, and lightweight assemblies – but it also creates cleaning challenges. Powder residues, trapped contamination, and hard-to-reach internal features such as cooling channels and lattice structures can make manual cleaning slow, inconsistent, and difficult to standardize.
When part cleaning depends too much on operator skill, the results vary from batch to batch. In aerospace and defense manufacturing, that variability doesn’t just slow production – it threatens traceability, downstream process reliability, and compliance with OEM and program requirements.
With MAFAC, you turn cleaning into a controlled, repeatable, and documented process for serial production.
Furthermore, MAFAC solutions open up new design freedom by removing cleaning as a limiting factor – so flight-critical geometries once considered difficult to clean can now be reliably manufactured and released.
MAFAC Cleaning Solutions for Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace & Defense
MAFAC transforms depowdering and cleaning into a controlled, water-based process designed for reproducibility. The focus is not only on effective cleaning, but on establishing a stable, documented, and scalable production step for additively manufactured aerospace and defense components.
Designed for complex geometries and quality-critical applications, the system ensures consistent residue removal while reducing operator influence. This enables reliable part quality and supports industrial series production of engine and structural components.
The result is a robust workflow that supports production readiness and makes cleaning an integral, documented part of the overall manufacturing chain.

Repeatable, water-based Cleaning for 3D printed Aerospace & Defense

Reproducible cleaning results for consistent releasable part quality.
Water-based, solvent-free process – material-friendly for titanium, Inconel, and high-performance alloys.
Operator-independent workflows reduce manual handling and varability.
Multi-stage wash and rinse concepts for cooling channels and lattice structures.
Integrated monitoring for documented, audit-ready traceable control.
Scalable and suitable for industrial AM series production.
Where it works Best
MAFAC Cleaning Systems are ideal for additive manufacturing parts that need to be cleaned reliably before the next process step – especially where defined guidelines, standards, or quality requirements must be met. It supports complex geometries, challenging residues, and applications where repeatability and compliance matter most.
Their solutions have already been successfully implemented in demanding aerospace and defense AM applications – including engine and structural components – where consistent cleaning results, process reliability, and documented quality are essential.
