Why additive manufactured plastic printing parts are (wrongly) underestimated.
3D printing has a rather bad reputation in many mechanical engineering companies. This bad reputation is largely based on a false image of 3D printing. This is because industrial 3D printing delivers products far away from the small home printing machines.
Our customers see this symbolically when they look at the ProX 500 in our production hall, which can print high-quality parts from DuraForm? plastic. See the difference;

With the ProX 500 and the extra robust and FDA-certified DuraForm? ProX plastic, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology can be used to produce 3D printed parts in a very high quality. This process enables the production of particularly stable and at the same time flexible machine components.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing process in which three-dimensional models are created by fusing individual powder layers. A laser beam travels over the exact contours that have been designed in the CAD file and fuses the material step by step to form a break-proof 3D model.
Printed parts made of Dura?Form ProX plastic are particularly impressive because of their outstanding long-term stability. After 3D printing, the material used has a slightly rough surface structure, which can also be treated in various ways. Thereby a printed plastic part can be coloured, metallized or ground, for example. You can read more about part finishing of your plastic part here.
You can profit from many advantages of this production process. Be it an economical, efficient and environmentally friendly production, as there is almost no material wear. Or is it the high construction speed and reproduction of components. These, to name just a few advantages. See here a complete overview of the advantages and 4 examples of profitable SLS application.
To sum up, 3D printing of plastic parts is a perfect solution if you are looking for a high quality 3D printing solution...
- want to benefit from the time and cost advantages- want to check your 3D print file before production- have print parts with complex geometry- want simple and fast reproduction or different variations of your print part- need high strength and stability with minimal wall thickness- set value on good resolution and detail- want to benefit from the numerous post-treatment and finishing methods- don't want to do without highest quality
Do you have any questions about the technology or materials used? We will be happy to advise you in order to find the best possible solution for your machine components or prototypes.
