Laser Sintering: Refreshing Strategies for Polyamide-12 Powder
Laser Sintering is increasingly emerging as an additive manufacturing method for low-volume production. If it is to make the breakthrough to mass production, however, a way must be found of upcycling the excess polymer powder to obtain the highest-possible quality. This can be done by using melt volume-flow rate instruments to determine the quality of the material and devising a suitable refreshing strategy.
