Talking about mechanical engineering, it happens quite often that some few, but highly complex manufacturing parts will be needed. To produce them by subtractive manufacturing means big efforts and sometimes high costs. Selective laser sintering might be a real alternative.
Out technologies allow you to get highly complex 3D object and functional parts even in lot size 1. In mechanical engineering, usually these kind of manufacturing parts were machined in subtractive processes. Please find a non-exhaustive list of examples of jigs and fixtures produced with SLS technology:
Our Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Continuous Fiber Fabrication (CFF) technologies are not only more cost-effective for the production of equipment, but also significantly faster than conventional processes - all we need from you is the 3D CAD data and we're ready to go.
With the very modern Continuous Fiber Fabrication (CFF) method, your components even achieve strengths similar to aluminum components.
Standard tolerances in our processes are in the range of a tenth of a millimeter. If you require a higher degree of precision, this can be achieved locally through mechanical reworking. Simply let us know your requirements and we will be happy to discuss with you what is possible.
