Plastic Laser Sintering System



EOS is featuring its FORMIGA P 110, the successor model of its plastic laser sintering system FORMIGA P 100.

"The system is suitable for the economic production of small series and customized products with complex geometries," said a company spokesperson. "This makes it ideal for small, sophisticated components used in the medical device industry or for high-value consumer goods, for example. With a build envelope of 200 mm x 250 mm x 330 mm, the system manufactures products made of polyamide or polystyrene directly from CAD data within only a few hours."

Customer Hannes Kuhn, Managing Director of Kuhn-Stoff GmbH, said, "The additional parameter sets 'Balance 1.0' (120 µm layer thickness) and 'Top Quality 1.0' (60 µm layer thickness) allow an even more detailed and flexible production. The increased build rate rounds off the advantages compared with the FORMIGA P 100."

The system features 4-channel heating and a single-point pyrometer for increased process stability and reproducibility. An external nitrogen connection is included. The established dosing and coating system were retained. According to EOS, the system requires a minimum of accessories and can be installed and calibrated in less than two days. Data preparation can take place at the workstation, and the system is designed to provide enhanced automation and ergonomics.
