The selective<\/strong> laser sintering<\/strong> technology uses a laser beam to sinter polymer-based or composite powder particles.<\/p>

In SLS technology, thermoplastic polymers are used in powder form. Specifically, the most commonly used materials are PA11<\/strong>, PA12<\/strong>, PP<\/strong>, PA6<\/strong>, and TPU<\/strong>. Depending on the requirements and\/or applications, it is possible to add<\/strong> reinforcing materials such as glass or carbon to the powders, to increase thermo-mechanical performance<\/strong> and provide dimensional stability<\/strong> to the printed object.<\/p>

Among the main advantages of this technology, we can list geometric freedom<\/strong>, due to the absence of supports, increased productivity<\/strong>, due to the freedom of component positioning within the print volume, and finally, cost reduction<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is a technology that allows objects to be created using photosensitive resins solidified by a UV source. SLA boasts a wide selection of printable plastics<\/strong> with good mechanical properties.<\/p>

The object resulting from printing has a smooth surface finish<\/strong> and is high quality<\/strong>, even in the presence of complex details<\/strong>. Resin printing technology is suitable for various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, biomedical, design, and rapid prototyping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Selective laser melting of metals<\/strong> is a 3D printing technology that fuses metal powder into a solid and homogeneous mass using a high-power laser<\/strong>, following the desired geometry. Various materials can be used: chrome-cobalt, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, steel, nickel alloys, bronze, and others. SLM and DMLS technologies allow the creation<\/strong> of very complex geometries<\/strong> in a single piece, intended for various sectors and industrial applications.<\/p>

<\/p>

The printed product can be either a ready-to-test prototype<\/strong> or a finished part to be subjected to post-processing. This technology is ideal for producing small batches of different geometries, due to its speed<\/strong> of execution and the elimination of tooling costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Technology based on the extrusion by heating of a thermoplastic filament<\/strong> that makes the material fluid and moldable. The material is deposited on the print bed along a layer-by-layer path where it solidifies. The subsequent layer fuses with the underlying layer, according to a line pattern, building the object layer by layer.<\/p>

The layers of material deposited by the extruder are visible on the object’s surface, which can be partially or totally eliminated through subsequent finishing work. It is possible to process a wide range of materials<\/strong>, high-melting (PEEK, ULTEM) or low-melting (TPU, ABS, PA, etc…). The technology requires supports, manually removable or soluble, which will be removed with post-printing processes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Finally, the polymer filament extrusion technology makes it possible to produce components with multiple co-printed materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
