Appliance Design - October 2008 - (Page 18) PROTOTYPING EOS offers a variety of new materials including laser sintered plastic and metal powders. This EOS prototype is a sieve made from 17-4 stainless steel. A flexible keypad made with Objet Geometries Tango FullCure930 material. A fan blade from DSM Somos SL prototyping material. than previously available materials. Pfefferkorn says that the PrimePart DC is based on a Nylon-12 material and offers good properties at low temperatures down to -30 DegC. Versions are available that are glass filled and fire retardant. The company is also working on a new material called PrimePart ST (soft touch), which is a soft material with an elongation of around 250 percent and a Shore hardness of A95/D35. Parts lasersintered from this material are fully dense, so gas-tight products can be produced directly. Compared to other flexible laser-sintering materials available, PrimePart ST shows a four times higher tensile strength of 8 MPa. Future plastic materials from EOS will offer a wider choice of colors. Its PA 2202 black is a polyamide material containing black pigments. The resulting parts are colored throughout their whole volume, which makes them resistant against scratches, abrasion, and dirt. The parts are well suited for mechanically stressed applications or dirty environments. The polymer in black will be the first choice for industries where this color of parts is relevant. PA 2203 grey is a further alternative in light grey. For direct metal laser sintering, which builds parts from successive layers of fused metal powder, EOS now offers StainlessSteel PH1, which Michael Shellabear, vice president at EOS and a Stratasys offers durable materials for use in direct digital manufacturing applications. Shown is the FDM 900 prototyping machine. 18 applianceDESIGN October 2008 www.applianceDESIGN.com http://www.applianceDESIGN.com
