Zusammenfassung:	A system and method are disclosed for removal of unwanted material from additively manufactured parts by application of vibratory and/or acoustic energy. The system and method include a vibratory platform located in a chamber. Additively manufactured parts having unwanted material adhered thereto are placed on the vibratory platform. The platform is caused to vibrate thereby causing the unwanted material to detach from the parts. The system and method may also include the application of acoustic energy to cause unwanted material to detach from the parts. Advantageously, the unwanted material removed from the additively manufactured object can be recycled. Sont divulgués un système et un procédé d'élimination de matière non souhaitée de pièces fabriquées de manière additive par l'application d'une énergie vibratoire et/ou acoustique. Le système et le procédé comprennent une plateforme vibrante localisée dans une chambre. Les pièces fabriquées de manière additive ayant une matière non souhaitée adhérant à ces dernières sont placées sur la plateforme vibrante. La plateforme est amenée à vibrer amenant ainsi la matière non souhaitée à se détacher des pièces. Le système et le procédé peuvent également comprendre l'application d'énergie acoustique pour amener la matière non souhaitée à se détacher des pièces. De manière avantageuse, la matière non souhaitée retirée de l'objet fabriqué de manière additive peut être recyclée.
