The SLS or also known as the Selective Laser Sintering is one of the most valuable processes of 3d printing. The quick turnout time and low cost for end products make it more valuable than other 3d printing services. This is used for creating nylon products. The nylon powder is spread over the machine bed with the sintering machine, and the powder is melted with lasers. The bed is then moved, and another layer is made with the nylon powder for the layer. The parts are built layer by layer on the powder bed. The process of melting powder and laying another layer continues till the product is made. Thus the nylon product which can be made through this process can be created in a bit of time with complex geometry shapes and thin walls. This process can produce an extended range of materials like glass, ceramic, plastic, and metal products in a bit of time. This process is especially beneficial for making rapid prototypes with SLS as it needs little unit cost to produce small functional batches. This is especially beneficial if you need to bring the prototype to the market before producing it on a large scale.
Benefits of SLS in Rapid prototyping
- The parts made from nylon and fiber materials are strong and durable. They can easily use them for producing end parts.
- Unlike other 3d printing services or traditional curving methods, the products produced with SLS rapid prototyping machine can create intricate geometry and thin-walled surface that gives it a perfect look like the design itself.
- The same machine set-up can make a large amount of production without much production cost. This makes it more cost-friendly for prototyping.
- SLS rapid prototyping brings down the production time from weeks to days as it needs no intricate tooling like other 3d printing services. It allows fast production and speed to the market.
- Unlike SLA and FDA processes, it does not need feeder material as sintering material. Thus rapid prototyping with SLS 3d printers lowers the material waste during production.
- SLS is also helpful for online 3d printing services. You can get the end product ready in no time and delivered to you at a reasonable cost.
Our professionals with SLS 3d printing services will help you produce rapid prototypes at a low cost of $25. For now, we are working with black nylon, but we expect to introduce metals and full-color plastics as part of the 3d printing material. The turnout time is also a little more than the molding process. However, the products are very helpful to get the perfect shape and geometry of the design in prototype, and you can quickly head on for the market.
