Abstract Many SLS/SLM users experience many types of degradation in quality. A leading 3D online publication published in 2018 revealing a glimpse into some of the problems. In this article, we will not only define the issues (four major Errors) but also quantify the Errors. Additionally, we will show the cumulative effect on a 3D…
Abstract Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing process in which a powdered material is heated below its melting point and sintered using a high-intensity laser. The most useful application of this technology pertains to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), which applies SLS technology to the production of strong, complex, metal 3D parts. A…
Fig. 1 At Tecnica we utilized our patented process for leveling of the print bed. The invention is based on transmitting light from the print head and analyzing the returned light from the print bed. A light source (infrared LED) mounted and surrounded by Light detectors (photo transistors) is mounted next to the print .…
Greatly reduces computer numerical control (CNC) & electrical discharge machining (EDM) costs. Selective laser sintering (SLS) cuts turnaround and expenses Precision-cut details and a smooth finish. Excellent mechanical properties. Creates metal patterns . Increases efficiency of 3D printing by allowing tools and prototypes to be manufactured throughout the entire engineering process.
