Building the Future: Exploring HLH Prototypes' Role in SLS 3D Printing

 

Do you need functional prototypes or end-use parts? There are a lot of manufacturing options to choose from today. And at HLH Prototypes, we recommend the most proven technologies that can save you money and time. One of our solutions is the SLS 3D printing service, which builds durable, tough parts accurately from powdered nylon (PA12).

 

Selective laser sintering (SLS) selectively fuses powdered nylon in the build chamber with a precise laser. The printing process builds the part one layer at a time, and because of the powdered material, there is no need to use support structures, even for designs with complex geometries. This is why our SLS 3D printing service is a great choice for building tougher, functional parts that can endure high-stress environments.


As experienced prototyping and manufacturing specialists, our team at HLH Prototypes are committed to maximizing SLS 3D printing to impact the future of manufacturing. At the same time, we want to benefit your product design and production process. Here’s how we are changing perceptions in SLS 3D printing:

 

·         Ensuring accuracy

At HLH Prototypes, we use a 1mm tolerance for our SLS 3D printing service to ensure accurate results every time. Plus, we guide our clients in designing their parts by providing custom design tips. We can also recommend ways to reduce the need for surface finishing.

 

·         A wider range of materials

Plastics usually come to mind when 3D printing is mentioned, but we offer more materials to build SLS 3D-printed parts. If you want your part to have higher tensile strength, hardness, stiffness, and stability, we can build it using glass-filled PA 12. It’s also ideal for parts that require high mechanical dampening qualities and excellent fatigue strength and objects that will be exposed to high temperatures.

 

·         Versatility

We customize our SLS 3D printing service to meet your exact requirements. Despite this, we guarantee fast turnaround, even when you require up to 100,000 identical parts to fulfill low-volume end-use requirements. Additionally, our MOQ is one, so you do not have to worry about producing more parts if unnecessary.

 

Choose HLH Prototypes for your SLS 3D printing needs.

Tips On Choosing The Right Prototypes Plastic Parts For Your Need

  Are you building a  prototype plastic part ? It's crucial to pick asuitable material, but that process can become intimidating as different plastics vary in durability, aesthetics, and strength. Even when prototyping, you’ll want to produce a production-grade prototype that lets you evaluate your product's performance in the real world. Here are some tips to reduce your guesswork in choosing plastics for your prototype.   Consider these critical factors.   Know the purpose of your part and its mechanical functions. You should also consider your manufacturing processes, such as CNC machining, injection molding, or 3D printing. Moreover, determine the quantity, the cost, and the lead times.   Explore commonly used plastics   Reputable manufacturers constantly update their selection of plastics, but these are the most common types you can consider for your  prototype plastic part :   ·         Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS): This is a strong material w

Rapid Tooling: A Perfect Speed to Market Product Development Solution

One of the greatest challenges that product manufacturers and designers face today is finding ways to speed up time to market. With consumer demands leaning toward rapid product development, manufacturers and product designers feel the pressure of having to churn out products in the fastest time possible. Just the same, new product development still requires a prototyping stage in order to ensure the feasibility of the product design, including its general shape and form, assembly, and functionality. Thanks to new technology, rapid tooling methods are becoming increasingly commonplace, enabling manufacturers to reap the benefits of much faster methods to create prototypes, which in turn speeds up product testing, final production, as well as its release into the market at large. Rapid tooling offers faster lead times of mere days instead of weeks or months, just like conventional manufacturing ways. Five to ten days is already a stretch when trying to get at least 50 prototype

Different Types of 3D Printing Prototypes

Image
Additive manufacturing lets you build three-dimensional objects based on your digital drawing model. It creates a custom   3D printing prototype  by adding materials one layer at a time or by sintering or fusing powdered materials, depending on the method you use.   Technologies have come a long way and introduced more 3D printing methods to help you make prototypes quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. Here are the most common types you may want to know. Stereolithography SLA 3D printing is among the oldest and most versatile additive manufacturing technologies. It builds the object layer by layer using a photocurable resin cured with an intense UV laser in the build platform. The result is a  3D printing prototype  with a good surface finish and optimum accuracy to the CAD. The process involves support structures to keep the material in place while printing, but these are removed afterward. This technology is ideal for making aesthetic models and bespoke or low-volume pr
