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.
