The SLS method is also a technology in which the part is manufactured in layers. In this case the parts are produced by melting powdered thermoplastics with a laser. This method is particularly suitable in order to produce functional, mechanically loadable prototypes to which no special demands are made to the surface. The material properties of the components correspond to almost 90% of the later series parts. Five different materials, from the TPU to filled polyamide, partially biocompatible per USP Class VI or fire protection class V-0 and blue-card certificate, are available.
Our machines have a maximum build space of 340 x 340 x 600 mm and use a layer thickness of 0.1 to 0.15 mm.
