Description
SLS introduction The SLS process is ideal for producing tough, functional prototype models required for product testing, direct from customer supplied 3D CAD data. Models can withstand rigorous testing and high temperatures (up to 150 C) making them ideal for use in under bonnet applications, impact testing, and even as final production mouldings.
Requiring very little post cleanup, parts can be produced in nylon or glass filled nylon, with part complexity no issue at all. Fully functional snap fits and living hinges can be accurately produced and tested.
SLS parts can also be fully finished, painted, water sealed or coloured to customer requirements to give highly functional AND aesthetic models! As the figure below shows, an SLS® machine consists of two powder magazines on either side of the work area. The leveling roller moves powder over from one magazine, crossing over the work area to the other magazine. The laser then traces out the layer. The work platform moves down by the thickness of one layer and the roller then moves in the opposite direction. The process repeats until the part is complete.
