About Project

Here are some mechanical parts recently printed with our Formlabs Fuse 1 3D printers. Fuse 1 has a build volume of 16.5 脳 16.5 脳 30.0 cm and can use Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 powders.

Solution

• Step 1: First, the 3D model will be broken down into layers of 0.1 mm on the computer and sent to the 3D printer.
• Step 2: Before printing, we need to fill the tank with PA 12 powders. On a bed pressure, a 0.1 mm thick layer over the whole width is applied.
• Step 3: Pre-heat the machine to about 100掳C, and the laser will light the powder and increases the temperature just above the melting point of the powders.
• Step 4: After a layer is formed, the platform will lower down and produce another layer.
• Step 5: When the printing process ends, remove the excess powders which also serve as supports.
