Sorry this isn't a Pro/E specific question, but I don't know any other
forums to go to and everyone here is so knowledgeable:
I need to rapid prototype (in nylon or plastic, etc) a bunch of parts I've
made. We have an in-house SST Dimension ABS plastic machine that has
too low resolution and layer thickness (.01").
I see that SLS plastic machines general do .004" layer thickness and at
least look like they blend the edges of the layers more smoothly.
I contacted Morris Technologies for a quote on a part but they only have
SLA machines in house.
Can anyone tell me about the general differences in results one and
pricing one can expect from SLA vs SLS machines? Additionally, could
someone recommend any more companies for me to seek quotes from on
this kind of work? Right now I only have this one company, but my
budget is tight and would like to see what some other companies could
do. I'm located in the Mid-west of USA, though I suppose it doesn't
matter much where I'm located since everything just gets shipped
anyway.
thanks
