This powder bed fusion process utilising thermoplastic polymers is suitable for prototyping and printing functional parts.
SLS offers high levels of design freedom and high levels of accuracy, producing parts with good, consistent isotropic mechanical properties and excellent layer bonding. Printing is fully self-supporting, enabling complex geometries.
Technology
SINTERSTATION 2500 HiQ (3 Machines)
Lead time: 4 days Build Platform (mm): 330 x 380 x 457 Accuracy: to ± 0.3% Layer thickness: 0.15 mm Wall thickness: 1 mm (to 0.5 mm for hinges) Surface structure: SLS parts have obvious layering and a grainy texture. Powder residue usually evident. Can be blasted and polished or vibrofinished.
Thermoplastic Resins
Our polyamide resins include nylons filled with glass and minerals to improve mechanical and thermal properties of the produced parts.
