SLS 3D printing

SLS powder sintering is used to create parts layer by layer. The powder is applied in successive layers and the laser sinters the areas of the part being made on each new layer. The parts produced are suited to functional, mechanical and thermal testing. The powder can be natural or charged, and may also be certified for use in the aeronautics industry.

Manufacturing process

Methodology

With powder sintering, your parts are created by layering molten polymer under the action of a CO² laser. In a pre-heated chamber, a polyamide-based powder is deposited on a manufacturing platform. An infrared laser beam melts the powder only in the areas corresponding to the part. As the powder solidifies again, the upper stratum attaches to the lower layer, gradually forming the part.

Our strengths

  • Extensive machinery
  • Wide range of powders
  • High productivity
  • Optimized costs and lead times
  • Operational flexibility: customized processes
  • ISO 9001 – EN 9100 certification

Applications

A high-precision rapid prototyping tool. The resulting prototypes feature enhanced resolution thanks to thinner layers and a finer laser spot. Accuracy and detail rendering are considerably enhanced. Ideal for small production runs and the most demanding creations.
