Laser sintering for high throughput
Around 80 percent of car parts can already be printed using selective laser sintering (SLS).

Whether 3D-printed components for machines and systems, prototypes or aids for design: additive manufacturing is almost indispensable for modern companies in mechanical and plant engineering and automation if they want to play in the premier league.

In order to be able to react quickly to changing production lines, additive manufacturing has long been an integral part of the production of automotive parts due to its flexibility. Around 80 percent of products can already be printed using selective laser sintering (SLS).

Materialise launches 3D printing service with up to one hundred percent recycled plastic powder.
In modern industry, but also in other sectors, individual parts and prototypes sometimes have to be produced practically overnight. Thanks to additive manufacturing, there are virtually no limits to rapid prototyping in terms of geometry and material selection.

Materialise announces the launch of Bluesint PA12, a plastic that enables the printing of a component with up to 100 percent recycled powder. This allows laser sintering waste to be almost completely eliminated and reduces the negative impact on the environment.
For small to medium quantities, complex geometries and high quality requirements, 3D printing by laser melting is the production method of choice. Kuhn-Stoff has been working with EOS systems for 14 years - layer by layer.
Igus: Additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0

3D-printed wear parts from Igus often offer a comparable service life to original parts. Manufactured using filament printing, intelligent components now also warn of overload and report their need for maintenance.
Deciding on a printing material in additive manufacturing has become much easier. Whereas previously only one plastic could be printed, 2-component 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities.

Together with EOS and DyeMansion, Siemens presents the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for elective laser sintering and industrial post-processing.

Zero point clamping module from Schunk
The Vero-S NSE-AM mini 78-20 zero-point clamping module from Schunk was specially designed for applications in additive manufacturing, laser sintering and laser melting, and is therefore completely sealed.
