Development a Cu-based Metal Powder for Selective Laser Micro Sintering

Laser Penetration in a Powder Bed during Selective Laser Sintering of Metal Powders: Simulations versus Experiments

To gain a better understanding and control of the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process, more fundamental and modeling work is needed. A simple analytical ray-tracing model has been developed to simulate the energy absorption and penetration in SLS. The model is applied to FeCu and WC-Co powder mixtures, irradiated by Nd-YAG or CO2 laser. It gives an evaluation of the total energy incoupling ...

A review on powder-based additive manufacturing for tissue engineering: selective laser sintering and inkjet 3D printing

Since most starting materials for tissue engineering are in powder form, using powder-based additive manufacturing methods is attractive and practical. The principal point of employing additive manufacturing (AM) systems is to fabricate parts with arbitrary geometrical complexity with relatively minimal tooling cost and time. Selective laser sintering (SLS) and inkjet 3D printing (3DP) are two ...

Software Testbed for Selective Laser Sintering

Computer software plays an important role in the implementation of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) technologies. This paper describes a software testbed for processing part geometry for a particular SFF technology, selective laser sintering (SLS), that is built around the separation of the slicing and rasterization operations to accommodate geometric information from a variety of sources. The ...
