The data from a 3D CAD file is entered
into the Sinterstation. A precise, thin layer of heat fusible powder
is deposited across the build platform. A computer controlled carbon
dioxide laser scans a cross section of the 3D solid model (described in the CAD
file). As the laser draws the cross section, the powder contacted by
the laser is fused together, without actually melting the powder, forming a
thin layer (typical 0.004”). A new layer of powder is
deposited and the process of laser sintering and spreading powder is
repeated until the 3D object is complete. Parts do not require post
curing (except when ceramics are used). No support structures are
required...so your parts are produced cleaner with less
post-processing.
