Welcome to OTS Turbo, where innovation meets precision in the world of 3D printing. Our state-of-the-art Additive Manufacturing Center is equipped with advanced technologies for both metal and polymer 3D printing, showcasing our commitment to pioneering in the field. Here’s a closer look at our cutting-edge capabilities and how they can benefit your business.
Metal 3D Printing: Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
What is SLM?
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a revolutionary process that uses a high-energy laser beam to selectively scan and melt metal powders, layer by layer, on the worktable. This process quickly solidifies and stacks the material to create intricate and robust parts. At OTS Turbo, we specialize in printing with various materials including stainless steel (316L), aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg), titanium alloy (TC4), and mold steel (18Ni300).
Advantages of Our SLM Process:
1. Complex Geometries: We can print parts that are challenging to manufacture using traditional methods. For instance, our technology enabled the creation of intricate components for the Beijing Winter Olympics torch.
2. Rapid Prototyping: Traditional manufacturing processes can have long lead times. With our 3D printing capabilities, we can produce samples in as little as two days, accelerating your product development cycle.
3. Cost Efficiency: By eliminating the need for expensive molds and extensive machining, we reduce the costs associated with small-batch production. Our technology is particularly advantageous for producing parts like impellers,turbine wheels for Jet aircraft quickly and at a lower cost.
4. Process Simplification: Our SLM process removes the necessity for multiple manufacturing steps such as mold making, sheet metal work, stamping, and assembly. This streamlines production, resulting in faster turnaround times and reduced costs for complex parts like structural components, pipe fittings, and impellers.
Polymer 3D Printing: Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
What is SLS?
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) utilizes a high-energy infrared laser to selectively scan powder materials according to a computer-generated model. This layer-by-layer sintering process creates durable and functional prototypes once the excess powder is removed. Our SLS technology supports materials such as polystyrene (PS), coated sand, and nylon (PA12).
Advantages of Our SLS Process:
1. High-Performance Plastics: Our SLS technology enables the rapid and efficient manufacturing of functional plastic parts. This is particularly beneficial for small-batch, high-variety production runs, addressing issues of long lead times and high costs.
2. Rapid Casting: By using 3D printing for lost foam molds and sand molds, we facilitate quick casting processes. This significantly shortens product development cycles and reduces R&D costs, making it an ideal solution for fast-paced industries.
