Selective laser sintering(SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter powdered materila (typocally metal or polymer), aiming th laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D mode., binding the material together to create a solid structure. It is similar to direct metal laser sintering(DMLS) ;SLS (as well as the other mentioned AM techniques) is a relatively new technology that has mainly been used for rapid prototyping and for low-volume production of component parts so far. Production roles are expanding as the commercialization of AM technology improves.
1. 3D Model is made.
2. The SLS machine begins sintering each layer of part geometry into a heated bed of nylon-based powder.
3. After each layer is fused, a roller moves across the bed to distribute the next layer of powder. The process is repeated layer by layer until the build is complete.
4. When the build finishes, the entire powder bed with the encapsulated parts is moved into a breakout station,where it is raised up, and parts are broke out of the bed.
5. An initial brushing is manually administered to remove a majority of loose powder. Parts are then bead blasted to remove any of the remaining residual powder before ultimately reaching the finishing department.
With the latest generation of 3D printing technologies, we can meet tighter tolerances.
SLS nylon is a durable material with great impact strength, medium flexibility, and high resistance to environmental factors.
SLS can make a single part or component as easily as dozens of production pieces.
Geometries can be built more easily due to the 3D printing process, adding complexity without additional cost.
Generally, parts can be shipped in 3-5 days, allowing for faster lead time and speed to market.
