SLS Machine Specifications

Our suite of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) machines include some of the world's largest and we are uniquely able to offer parts built on both EOS and 3D Systems machines, providing the optimal process to meet our customers' requirements.

The EOS P730's have the world's first double-laser system and, with the P730's being up to 40% more productive compared to the P700's, we have the capacity to combine enhanced productivity with the highest quality parts, in the shortest leadtimes possible. With the ability to build large, single-piece parts up to 700x380x580mm (1000mm on the diagonal), the reduced need for joints and post-assembly dramatically increases their functionality. Smaller parts with finer detail can be produced using the 3D Systems machine, providing additional flexibility in meeting (and exceeding!) our customers' expectations.

Our team of skilled modelmakers use a variety of in-house finishing techniques to produce aesthetically pleasing parts that are often comparable to the final manufactured item. With the addition of a Vibro Finishing machine, we are able to generate smooth parts with minimal time and cost being added to the project, offering our customers a full service capability from start to finish.

EVP-A350 Vibro Finishing Machine
	The Vibro Finishing process generates smooth parts with minimal time and cost being added to the project leadtime. A 2 hour cycle is sufficient for large batches of small to medium sized parts, which is a considerable reduction from individual hand finishing. The resulting parts have a smoother, more refined finish, providing an ideal base for further fine-finishing such as the application of a coat of primer or a colour-matched paint, vacuum metalising or resin impregnation. Unlike more aggressive tumbling machines, this process can finish some of the internal features of components, such as holes and voids (although this does depend on the geometry). The only limitations to the process are that the largest size part that can fit into the machine is approx. 500mm x 300mm x 300mm, and very small features or delicate geometries may not be suitable and could be damaged or lost. As this is a low cost batch process, economies of scale apply to multiple part orders, and there is usually just a one-off fee applied per batch/order.
