Laser Sintering

In addition to functional models, laser sintering offers a cost-effective alternative for series production in PA – without the need for investment in molds, while providing significant design flexibility in construction. Powdered polyamide (PA or PA GK) is melted layer by layer using a CO2 laser and then solidifies. Laser-sintered parts are suitable for functional and assembly tests due to their excellent mechanical properties, as well as for direct use as end products. They are durable, can be made waterproof upon request, and features such as film hinges and snap hooks can also be realized. If one wishes to visually improve the process-related rough surface, it can be coated with filler, sanded, and subsequently painted if necessary.
