Laser sintering cuts mould production time

Article Abstract:

An adapted stereo lithography process can produce sand casting moulds without the need for tooling. The process uses a dual laser configuration and has been developed mainly for the automotive industry. It works along similar lines to other laser sintering machines, where lasers are used to cure sections of powder.
