SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (= SLS) is a generative manufacturing process that uses a laser beam to melt powdered material according to the specific shapes defined by a 3D CAD model, result is a solid structure.
It is one of the most productive and simultaneously most cost-effective processes and is used to create prototypes and small batch series.
What makes this so special is that, in contrast to conventional production processes, here it is possible to create very complex, three dimensional geometries – even with undercuts – within a fairly short time.
Scope for SLS
functional, durable, single pieces suitable for series production, prototypes and small batch series
Basic materials
Polyamide PA 2200 - unfilled, white - our standard
Polyamide PA 1101 - unfilled, white opaque, high flexible
Polyamide PA 12AL - filled, anthracite, grindable, high-grade haptics
Polyamide PA3200GB - filled, white, high regidity and high elongation at break
Polyamide PA FR2241 - flame-retardent polyamide
TPU - flexible, offwhite
Maschines
prodways ProMaker P1000
prodways laser sintering 3D printer
300mm x 300mm x 300mm build platform
The ProMaker P1000 plastic 3D printer offers industrial performance and high precision. Built parts show superior surface finish, made possible by a fine laser beam and a digital galvo scanning system. Like the other printers we use it for efficient small series production and parts with complex geometries.
