Improvement of powder management and recycling in laser sintering

Nowadays the utilisation of PA12 powders using the Laser Sintering (LS) process has become very popular, not only for rapid prototyping but also for the direct manufacturing of bespoke parts. In order to fabricate parts with good quality and to avoid the “orange peel” occurrence, the users of LS mac...

In order to fabricate parts with good quality and to avoid the “orange peel” occurrence, the users of LS machines apply a constant refresh rate with a higher portion of new powder.
