Technology
The Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) method utilizes advanced techniques to sinter polymer powders with a laser beam in a chamber maintained at approximately 200°C. The process begins with loading the powder onto a special platform, from which it is gradually transferred to the work table where the laser precisely sinters each layer.
With the ability to print without additional supports, SLS enables the realization of complex projects that are challenging or impossible with traditional techniques. The printed elements feature high aesthetic quality, often eliminating the need for post-processing. However, for enhanced accuracy and detail quality, options like sandblasting and painting are available.
Materials
Choosing the appropriate material is crucial for the quality of printed elements. We offer assistance in selecting the best raw materials based on their applications. For SLS technology, we use PA12 polyamide, known for its excellent strength and temperature properties, ideal for challenging environments such as the automotive industry and production lines.
We also provide material samples upon request for personal evaluation. Other materials used in SLS printing include high-strength PA11, ESD-resistant PA11, carbon fiber-reinforced PA11 CF, polypropylene (PP), and flexible TPE/Flexa. These specialized materials are available on request, ensuring solutions tailored to our clients' specific needs.
Finish
For prints made using SLS technology, we offer a range of finishing options:
-
Matte or glossy painting from the RAL palette
-
Application of anti-slip surfaces
-
Surface smoothing before painting
-
Pre-coating the produced element with color
-
Insertion of threaded inserts
