High-Performance SLS 3D Printing In Perth
Selective laser sintering 3D printing is great for creating prototypes that are required to be strong and sturdy. They consist of functional plastic parts that possess mechanical properties used in prototyping or low-volume production.
SLS is a 3D printing technique that combines tiny particles of plastic power (nylon and carbon fiber) with laser technology to create solid objects. At CAD Deziners, we offer premium quality SLS 3D printed objects that are sustainable and durable, providing leading SLS 3D printing in Perth.
All our SLS printing solutions are highly customizable and tailored to your specific needs. We ensure that your required 3D SLS printed object is accurate and meets quality standards. Not only that, but we ensure the timely delivery of your products so you can complete projects according to your schedule.
Perks Of Opting For SLS Printing
SLS printing offers many benefits to the average Perth presider. For instance, if you’re looking to create 3D simulations and prototypes or want to produce in low volumes, SLS printing is for you. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for using time-consuming tools during production. This technique is perfect for creating precise and intricate designs that are normally relatively difficult to produce.
Goes Well With Many Materials
This technique goes well with different materials and compliments them nicely. Materials such as metals and ceramics are common materials that go really well with 3D-printed SLS goods that are made of materials like HP Premium Nylon PA12, Alumide, Glass-filled nylon 3200. This is the reason why these objects have such versatility.
Reduced Cost Of Production
SLS 3D printing in Perth is great if you’re looking to cut costs. They allow for objects to be produced in small batches that reduce the overall cost while also allowing high customization.
Self-Sufficient
SLS-printed objects don’t need any added structures, support, or objects in order to produce, so they’re somewhat self-sufficient. The technique guarantees overall self-support. When working with Nylon based materials, you’re sure to get the faster SLS 3D printing in Perth!
Sturdy Structure
The strength of these objects is extremely high, making them extremely durable and offering great value for money. There is a great level of bonding in the components after the melting and layering process. When you get SLS 3D printing in Perth, the objects offer much-needed mechanical properties that are virtually isotropic.
Efficient Process
Embedded within our SLS printing process lies an innovative additive manufacturing technique, leveraging the formidable potential of a laser as both a source of power and heat. This cutting-edge methodology is meticulously tailored to sinter powdered materials such as nylon or polyamide, orchestrating their fusion into intricate designs.
Guided by the precise coordinates defined by the 3D model, the laser’s focused beams intricately weave through the material space, culminating in impeccably accurate results. This symbiotic interplay between laser energy and material cohesion is the bedrock of our process, ensuring that the components are united with remarkable precision, a hallmark of our commitment to excellence in SLS 3D printing in Perth.
Materials To Choose From
- Wide variety of materials to choose from
- Choose materials that cater to your needs
- Depending on the materials you choose, they can offer isotropic properties, enhanced strength or resistance to chemicals.
Polyamide 11 (PA 11)
Polyamide is extremely versatile and offers isotropic properties. They possess the ability to flex and adapt, which makes it perfect for projects that require a high level of flexibility.
Polyamide 12 (PA 12)
Offers great mechanical properties with a high level of stiffness and great resistance to chemicals. If delivers phenomenal performance while ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Carbon Fiber-Filled Nylon (Pa-Fr)
The Carbon Fiber-Filled Nylon has an amazing strength-to-weight ratio. It offers both strength and stiffness. If the project requires sturdy yet lightweight components, this material is the perfect solution.
Glass-Filled Nylon (Pa-Gf)
The Glass-Filled Nylon is perfect for intricate and detailed designs owing to its subtly porous surface. This offers aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity!
Finishing Options
You can choose from a wide array of surface finishes when SLS 3D printing in Perth.
- As Printed: As the name suggests, this is the original form in white or stone grey shade of colour. It is mostly a smooth, powdered finish without any visible layer.
- Dyed Black: The finished product is dyed black by being immersed in a warm colour bath. The colour covers the entire surface area and reaches a depth of 0.5mm.
Key Features
SLS printing offers many benefits due to its stellar properties. Some of the key features are as follows;
Parameters
The manufacturer pre-set the printing parameters related to the SLS machines for accurate SLS 3D printing in Perth. This is one of the reasons why it doesn’t require support during the designing and printing process.
Adhesion
The process primarily relies on the layering of materials at the center. This simultaneous layering of the same materials provides strength and durability. It strengthens the bond between the particles creating a sturdy finished product.
Shrinking
During the cooling process, parts are subjected to shrinkage. The printed item develops internal stress as part of the cooling process. At CAD Deziners, we take all these factors into consideration in order to produce highly accurate products for use.
