Abstract Scope |
Large area projection sintering (LAPS) is a recent development in the field of powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBFAM) processes. Current research is focused on application to polymer powders, but expansion of this method to other materials may better demonstrate unique advantages of LAPS for temperature sensitive materials such as decreased thermal gradients and lower peak temperatures. The longer sintering times also enable processing of higher viscosity materials and achieving higher density. This poster details the processing of chocolate powder using LAPS to produce 3D objects and tiled images. |
