AM Technologies and Materials

Digital Light Synthesis™

Carbon M2 Printers – 4 Printers

Lead time: 4 days
Build Platform (mm): 189 x 118 x 326
Accuracy: to ± 0.1%

Pixel resolution: 75 μm

Surface structure: Parts printed with Digital Light Synthesis™ are much more like injection-moulded parts. Digital Light Synthesis™ produces consistent and predictable mechanical properties, creating parts that are solid on the inside.

DLS Materials and Data Sheets

RPU 70

Tough, moderately heat resistant material with ABS-like properties including excellent durability.

EPX 86 FR

POLYSHOT SURFACING

DYEMANSION POWERSHOT S

Lead time: 4 days
Surface structure: PolyShot Surfacing (PSS) is an efficient process to achieve excellent end-use part finishes. No materials are removed, and the process is effective across all geometries. Cycle times are short, and capacity is substantial, enabling cost efficiencies to be passed on to the customer.

Most effective on PA11 and PA12 Nylons.

DYEMANSION POWERSHOT C

Lead time: 4 days
Surface structure: PolyShot Surfacing (PSS) is an efficient process to achieve excellent end-use part finishes. No materials are removed, and the process is effective across all geometries. Cycle times are short, and capacity is substantial, enabling cost efficiencies to be passed on to the customer.

Most effective on PA11 and PA12 Nylons.

DYING AND COLOURING

DyeMansion DM60 – 1 machine

Lead time: 1 – 4 days
Colouring: Over 170 RAL colours. Can be applied in conjunction with the PowerShot process to achieve a smooth, coloured finish similar to injection moulded parts.

MJF Materials and Data Sheets

PA11 NYLON

A high performance, biocompatible (when finished) slightly flexible, chemical and heat-resistant material suited to highly technical applications.

PA12 NYLON
