An improved apparatus and method are provided to remove powder from a web, for example, in a 3D printing apparatus.

A pair of edge vacuum nozzles and a central vacuum nozzle are also provided to move with the flexible blade to remove powder from both edges of the first portion and a central region of the first portion.
