LaserForm™
oven
for parts built with LaserForm material
Ensure reliable, repeatable sintering and infiltration results of your metal parts and tooling inserts made from LaserForm material with the specially designed LaserForm
oven — from 3D Systems
Sinter and infiltrate parts and inserts made from LaserForm material
Metal parts and tooling inserts produced on an SLS® system like the Vanguard system (pictured) must be sintered and infiltrated using the LaserForm
oven from 3D Systems.
The LaserForm oven is the only oven made specifically for sintering and infiltrating parts, prototypes, or tools made with LaserForm material. Its unique combination of features and automation deliver the reliable, repeatable results you need to improve designs, meet deadlines, and shorten production cycles.
Count on simple, automated, operation. The LaserForm oven is pre-programmed: just push a button and it automatically adjusts the temperature for each step of the process. Sensors automatically make additional adjustments in each of the three temperature zones, if needed. Nitrogen flow stops when the oven reaches a preset temperature, and the oven powers itself down at the end of the process. A built-in motorized crane makes loading and unloading parts a one-person job.
Get the control you need for the results you want. The LaserForm
oven's controller automatically records critical run data, which you can use to verify consistent operation and results. Sensors monitor each cycle; process deviation alarms notify you of problems, and the controller automatically shuts down if the temperature cannot be maintained.
With the LaserForm oven, you will produce durable, functional and fully dense (>99.5%) metal parts and inserts.
Choose from a full line of accessories, including:
- Crucibles - graphite containers for holding parts and bronze during the infiltration
process
- Metal cart with a hydraulic lift surface, for lifting parts from the SLS system, setting up crucibles for the oven, and transporting hot crucibles from the oven
- Consumables, including bronze ingots for infiltrating "green" (unsintered) LaserForm material parts, and alumina powder for covering and supporting parts in the oven.
Typical Applications:
- Sinter and infiltration of metal LaserForm material metal parts and tooling inserts
Benefits:
- One-button automated operation
- Temperature sensors, controls and alarms
- Built-in hoist for simple, automated loading and unloading cruibles without physical strain
- Automatic
recording of run data
