3D system speeds stapler development time
Combining stereolithography and proven mould-making technology, 3D Keltool allowed Acco Brands to produce a fully functional prototype stapler, at a cost saving of approximately 80%.
The DM100 and DM250 Systems build metal parts using selective laser melting (SLM) technology, where a laser fuses metal powder into a solid, three-dimensional part in an additive, layer-by-layer process.
Using CAD data, these direct metal manufacturing systems produce highly accurate, detailed parts with smooth surface quality within hours, without significant additional tooling.
DM100 and DM250 Systems suit a broad range of medical, dental, aerospace, automotive, electronics and military applications as well as tooling and conformal cooling applications that require accurate, dense metal parts made from a wide selection of metals.
With a quick polish to a finished part, Sinterstation Pro DM100 and DM250 SLM Systems build parts in aluminium, titanium, stainless steel, tool steels, cobalt chrome and inconel.
The smaller build volume of the DM100 is well suited for digital dentistry applications while the larger build volume of the DM250 provides general-purpose flexibility and high throughput.
