Study on the Forming Accuracy and Density of Eucalyptus/PES Fabricated by Laser Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

. Based on orthogonal test, the forming accuracy and density of laser sintering eucalyptus/PES blend is studied in this paper. It mainly analysed the effect of the powder size and process parameters (such as laser power, layer thickness, preheating temperature, etc) on the forming precision and density of sintered eucalyptus/PES parts, also the correlation analysis of molding error caused by the powder’s physical properties and machine is performed. By measuring the parts’ dimensions, the results show that the laser power and powder size are two main factors influencing parts’ density, and variable density, layer thickness and preheating temperature jointly affect the dimensional accuracy. The optimized processing parameters are obtained. The powder size, laser power, scanning rate, layers thickness and preheating temperature are 300 mesh, 43W, 2000mm/s, 0.1mm, 60°C respectively.
