Mitarepo[38] How far can powder 3D printers go in fine expression?
[Review] How capable is the powder sintering 3D printer "Fuse1" in expressing fine details? We tried creating a dinosaur skull!
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver helpful information each time from the wide range of product categories handled by System Create. The theme of Vol. 38 is "How finely can powder sintering 3D printers express shapes?" In the materials, we create a detailed model of a Tyrannosaurus skull using the powder material "Nylon 12" from the powder sintering 3D printer "Fuse 1," based on CT scan data. We are testing how finely detailed shapes can be reproduced, including the fine surface textures, small protrusions like teeth, and the complex arrangement of small bones inside the skull. Additionally, we are challenging the expression of raised and recessed lettering as one aspect of detail representation. "Isn't it impossible to achieve fine expressions because the powder is sintered and solidified?" "Even if fine shapes can be reproduced, won't they break?" We will explain these points of concern and verification regarding the use of 3D printers, along with comments from our technical staff. *You can download the materials from the button below.
