TapTechNews June 17th news, start-up Micronics launched a desktop-level SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printer product Micron, with a crowdfunding price starting from 2999 US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 21820 RMB).
According to the introduction, the SLS technology uses a high-power laser to sinter tiny polymer powder particles into a solid structure based on the 3D model, without the need for a support structure and with high material utilization.
The Micron 3D printer is equipped with a customized closed-loop laser system and uses a 5W 447nm light source, which can produce parts with a maximum size of 145 x 145 x 200mm, a spot size of 0.25mm, and a layer thickness of 100-150µm, with a typical part accuracy of ±0.1mm.
According to the introduction, the fastest build speed of this 3D printer is 67mm per hour, and it supports the following materials:
Currently supported: PA12, TPU-90A
Planned to be supported in the future: PA12-GF, PA12-CF, PA11, PP
The body size of the Micron 3D printer is 310 x 330 x 700mm, weighs 19kg, and the average power is 450-500W. It has now kicked off crowdfunding on Kickstarter, starting from 2999 US dollars (currently about 21820 RMB).
