How accurately can powdered nylon molding reproduce dimensions?
How accurately can the powder sintering 3D printer 'Fuse1' reproduce dimensions? We measured it!
"Mitarepo" is a series based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" where we introduce what can be done using various products. From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. The theme of Vol. 35 is "How accurately can a powder sintering 3D printer reproduce dimensions?" We measured various shapes of models created with a powder sintering 3D printer to verify the level of dimensional reproducibility it can achieve. In the materials, we created a plate with convex circles and holes using the powder material "Nylon 12" from the powder sintering 3D printer "Fuse 1," and a box shape surrounded by 1mm thick walls with bosses. Each shape and element was measured with a digital caliper. "Isn't powder sintering too powdery to achieve accurate dimensions?" "Isn't a design change necessary for printing?" We will explain these points of concern and the verification process with comments from our technical staff as we utilize 3D printers. *You can download the materials from the button above.
