Machine Specifications
The following drop-down menus explain some of the more technical specifications of our machines: build size, resolutions, powder sizes, materials available, etc.
- Sinter Based
- Sprayed Binder (layer-by-layer)
- Ti64, SS 316L, CP Ti, and any Material with a Sintering Temp. < 1400 °C
- Spherical or Angular (angular has worse performance)
- 0-40 micron, flexible sizing
- No Supports Needed
- Good Resolution ~100 um (warping during sintering, gentle depowdering)
- Turn Around (min. 4 Days, ~ 1 Week)
- Cost: relatively cheap (sinter)
- 70 mm x 170 mm x 70 mm
- Fusion Based
- Laser Fusion (layer-by-layer)
- Ti64, SS 316L, Cu, and nearly any metal, but laser parameters must change.
- Spherical Powder
- 15-45 micron diameter, narrow distribution
- Supports NEEDED for angles below 40° (30° for low-energy parameters)
- Good Resolution (5-50 micron, near-net shape)
- 125 x 125 x 120 mm
- Fusion Based
- Laser Fusion (layer-by-layer)
- Ti64, SS 316L, Fe, moderately difficult to switch materials
- Spherical Powder
- 0-20 micron diameter, narrow distribution, low humidity
- No Angles below 70°
- Low Resolution (quick build rate, needs machining)
- 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm
- Sinter Based
- Sprayed Binder (layer-by-layer)
- Ti64 Wax, Steel Wax, easiest to switch materials
- Spherical or Angular (angular has worse performance)
- 0-40 micron, flexible sizing
- No Supports Needed
- Exceptional Resolution (warping during sintering, near-net shape)
- 25 mm x 25 mm x 25 mm
