3DZ MADRID, SECOND STOP ON THE ADDITIVE TOUR TO PROMOTE 3D PRODUCTION

The first stop on the Additive Tour was in Barcelona last February and the next leg continued in Madrid, on 24 March, in the showroom of the 3DZ Madrid headquarters. Attendees had the opportunity to get a direct look at the range of SLS technology industrial printers such as the ProX 6100 by 3D Systems, which produce durable parts from a range of nylon materials optimised for production, verified and tested to ensure quality with consistent isotropic mechanical properties. Also on display was the Fuse 1+ 30W. This is the most powerful 3D industrial printer by Formlabs to date. With a 30W laser opening up the machine to high-performance materials, it has an enhanced manufacturing speed that optimises and drastically shortens production times.

Also present were 3DZ experts to answer any queries on site and describe the advantages and benefits that 3D printing for production can provide to companies.

SLS technology: the queen of 3D production

The advantages of producing in 3D with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) could be seen up close:

• Materials certified for specific uses
• Customised production
• Performance optimisation and component standardisation
• Better code management
• Capacity to change spare parts quickly
• Short development stage for new customised products

The event was held in two different sessions between 9.30am and 3pm with attendees being able to choose between: 9.30am to 12pm or 12.30pm to 3pm.
