Desktop open source SLS 3D printer is coming soon

The SLS (laser sintering) model uses a high-power laser to melt the material of small particles, and the released substance is almost an aerosol. Using this technology, materials such as plastic, metal, ceramics, glass, etc. can be printed, almost anything can be released as powder, and then hot melt formation. And hierarchically sintering, no need for any structural support, almost any shape and structure, which will be very wide than the FDM (melt deposition) 3D printer. Be One-time molded wrench However, traditional SLS devices are extremely expensive and huge. Sintratec (official website) is prepared in October's SLS 3D printer in Indiegogo, only 5277 US dollars (32453 RMB), this price has been flattened with FDM civilian high-end MakerBot third-generation Replicator 2X. The current version of R & D can print a square size of 130mm. The work is shown in the figure below. The appearance is similar to the printing effect of the final version of FDM, and there is a roughness of the strip of sandpaper, or need to be a surface treatment. Since this SLS printer adopts a diode laser transmitter, the power is low, the processing of powder material can only be wax, plastic, etc., which is one of the reasons why this equipment is so low, but due to paraffin casting in the mold. Wide applications in the field, this is not a highly efficient mold processing method. And a huge good news is that this core patent-selective laser sintering (SLS) expired this year (2014), the current SLS printer is $ 250,000, the expiration of this patent is also the product Another reason for such a low price. Just after the molten deposition (FDM) patent expiration, the open source hardware activities of the burst between the nights have suddenly become a personal DIY project, and various low-cost 3D printers have emerged. Today's 3D print market is hot. With the maturity of SLS technology and the cost of high-power laser tubes, the price of SLS equipment is low to the FDM model, and the family-style 3D printing technology revolution is really coming.
