SLA | 0.040 in/1.0 mm | 50 - 100 μm | 9.843 × 9.843 × 9.843 in./ 250 × 250 × 250 mm | +/- 0.15% with a lower limit of +/- 0.01 mm |
Available 3D Printing Material Selection
Making unique prototypes and parts with the appropriate mechanical characteristics, usefulness, and aesthetics requires using the right material. Below are some materials used by XinCheng for 3D printing services.
Nylon
It is strong, robust, and effectively resists impact. With a maximum heat resistance temperature of 140–160 °C, it is exceptionally hard and has a high degree of dimensional stability. Nylon has excellent mechanical qualities, great chemical and abrasion resistance, and a fine powder finish.
Nylon has high strength, as well as chemical resistance. 3D printing this material involves using SLS technology.
ABS
ABS is a common plastic with good thermal and mechanical characteristics. It is a typical thermoplastic with good impact resistance and vague details. ABS is lightweight, strong, and has high resolution. It is ideal for making architectural models as well as concept models. SLA 3D printing technology is the ideal process for manufacturing ABS.
PLA
PLA is quite stiff, has nice detailing, and is reasonably priced. It is a thermoplastic that degrades naturally and has strong tensile and ductile strength. This material can undergo SLA and SLS 3D printing processes with a 0.2mm accuracy. PLA is also food safe and ideal for making concepts and functional models.
Benefits of 3D Printing
-
Highly ScalableMaking a single part or component using 3D printing is easy, and the same goes for producing dozens of production parts.
-
AccuracyThe precision of manufactured parts is one of the benefits of 3D printing. The processes involved in 3D printing are all automated with minimal human influence, thus reducing errors.
-
Geometry ComplexityThe 3D printing technology makes it easier to construct geometries, enhancing complexity without incurring additional costs.
-
Quick TurnaroundFaster design iterations and time to market are made possible because parts may frequently be sent in as little as 3 days.
SLS Prototype Vs SLA Prototype: How They Work?
How SLA 3D Printing Works?
After data processing, a proprietary software slicing program is used to import the 3D model and build support structures as needed.
The SLA machine is then instructed to print the STL file using a tank of liquid photosensitive resin. The tank is lowered with a construction platform on it. The UV laser beam focused through a lens scans a cross-section of the liquid surface.
Next, the rapid solidification of the resin creates a single material layer in the scanning region. A new resin layer is applied to the build surface when the first layer is finished, and the platform is lowered by 0.05-0.15mm.
The resin is then cured and bonded to the layer beneath as the next layer is traced. Continue in this manner until the portion is complete.
How SLS 3D Printing Works?
A platform with a small layer of powder inside the shaped chamber is coated.
A laser beam scans the powder according to the layer’s cross-section contour when heated to a temperature just below the polymer’s melting point, sintering the powder. The model’s hollow and cantilever are supported by un-sintered powder.
The platform’s thickness is decreased by one layer when a cross-section has finished being sintered, and the laying roller then applies a layer of uniformly dense powder on top of it to get it ready for the sintering of a new cross-section.
The procedure is repeated until the solid model is obtained after all layers have been sintered.
3D Printing FAQs
Understanding several elements that can affect how much money you spend on printing or outsourcing your project is crucial. The cost of 3D printing depends on various factors, including labor, model complexity, and material.
You cannot 3D print materials like wood, cloth, paper, and rocks. The reason is that these materials burn before they melt and cannot be extruded through a nozzle.
3D printing involves building materials layer by layer to create a 3D part. The process is additive, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing, which consists in cutting a product from a more extensive material. There are several 3D printing services. However, the major ones include; functional prototyping, rapid prototyping, modeling, and 3D low-volume production.
One major reason why the 3D printer is expensive is due to the precision it generates. The 3D printing process requires high precision. Consequently, the components of the printer must be top-quality. The high cost of the printer components also increases the cost of the printer, thus making it expensive.
