Selective Laser Sintering Printers

Product catalog summary

Overview of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Printers:
The document discusses the capabilities and advantages of ProX® and sPro™ SLS printers by 3D Systems, emphasizing tool-less manufacturing, which eliminates the need for tooling, thus saving time and costs. It highlights the flexibility and agility in manufacturing, allowing for complex designs and reduced assembly times.

Key Features and Applications:

Tool-less Manufacturing: Direct 3D production from CAD files eliminates tooling costs and streamlines workflows.
Design Flexibility: SLS technology allows for the creation of complex assemblies as single parts, enhancing functionality and reliability.
Applications: Suitable for housings, machinery components, functional testing, jigs and fixtures, ducting, and consumer goods.

Printer Models and Specifications:

sPro™ Models (60, 140, 230): Known for producing accurate, durable parts with excellent resolution and surface finish. They offer flexibility through upgrade options and a broad choice of materials.
ProX® SLS 6100: Offers production-quality parts at a prototyping price with high throughput and material efficiency. It features a Material Quality Control System (MQC) for optimal material use.

Material Options:
The document lists various DuraForm® materials available for different applications, including thermoplastics and elastomers, each with specific properties such as strength, flexibility, and temperature resistance.

Technical Specifications:

Build Envelope Capacity: Ranges from 15 x 13 x 18 inches to 22 x 22 x 30 inches depending on the model.
Layer Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.003 to 0.006 inches.
Volume Build Rate: Varies by model, with rates from 1.8 to 3.0 liters per hour.
Material Handling: Automatic or manual, depending on the model.

Conclusion:
3D Systems' SLS printers are positioned as industry standards for producing high-quality, durable parts with a wide range of material options and advanced features to optimize production efficiency.
