3D Printing
Accelerate productivity of plastic additive manufacturing process.
The productivity of additive manufacturing, especially for plastic materials, can be significantly increased by using a multi-beamlet scanning system. Linear PLV™ can handle more than 800W CW laser at 1064nm wavelength.
SCREEN demonstrated plastic additive manufacturing with Galvo scanning laser system. Since nominal plastic material does not absorb near infrared wavelengths, black carbon is mixed in the plastic compound. The resolution on the powder bed was 25 µm, which was 4 times higher than conventional CO2 single beam scanning system. Scanning speed is estimated to be 7 times faster for building reference parts compared to existing AM equipment of single beam CO2 laser systems.
