Basics
- A device that propels some sort of abrasive material such as sand, via compressed air, onto an object in order to wear it down for either post processing of metal/plastic parts or for restoration of tools (such as rusty tools)
Used For
- Finishing/post processing --> Well finished industrial quality parts
- Restoration of tools and parts for effective reuse of many more tools and parts (Such as rust hand tools)
- Building Restoration
- Businesses based on the use cases mentioned above
Industry Standards
- [1]
Existing Open Source Designs
- [2]
- [3]
- [4]
Minimum Viable Product
- Modular
- Cheap
- Durable
- User Maintainable
- Wide variety of abrasives can be used
- Large variety of pressures for added control
- Air filter/screen to prevent air compressor clogging (unlikely, but it cant hurt to be safe)
Basic Design
Air Supply
- An air compressor with check valve(s) and filter(s) to prevent abrasive contamination of the pump (may be overkill, but what could go wrong with beig too safe?)
Air Hose
- Standard Quick Disconnect Possibly?
Sandblasting Gun
- A handheld Device with a small abrasive resevoir and a venturi effect style mixer
- Also should have an air "trigger" + an adjustment valve
Sandblasting Cabinet
- Used to contain + recycle the abrasive
- Square with roughly conical base, seperated by mesh or bars
