Laser-sintering saves time and money for prototyping during product development, but can now also be used in production too. EOS will show how at the K 2001 show in Duesseldorf, Germany.
Laser sinter systems meet Formula One pressures
Two laser sintering systems - including a double-laser one - manufacture hour by hour racing car components directly from thermoplastic powders on the basis of three-dimensional CAD data.
The EOSINT P 385 laser-sintering system allows Protogenic to provide real nylon parts, suitable for direct manufacturing and prototyping applications, in as little as a two-day timeframe in most cases.
As a leader and pioneer in the stereolithography and silicone RTV molding rapid prototyping industry, Protogenic's owners have always strived to remain at the forefront of the technology.
From their research, Protogenic chose to go with the EOSINT P 385 laser-sintering machine from EOS, stating that EOS and its capabilities are the absolute best the world's laser-sintering market has to offer.
Steve Stewart, President of Protogenic, stated: "We chose the EOSINT P 385 over 3D System's Vanguard for its consistency, reliability, and ease of operation".
"From start to finish, this machine is a manufacturing system, designed to make parts consistently to tolerance".
"The engineering is superior to other competitive machines, and our customers will reap the benefits of the best accuracy available using this laser-sintering process.".
