(SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) See laser sintering and 3D printing. ) technology. In this CAD-based, fully automated process, tool inserts are made by laser sintering powdered A6 tool steel and then infiltrating the "green" part with molten bronze. The result is a fully dense, 36%-bronze part. Tel: (937) 890-9292 * www.bastech.com |
