Item Influence of Temperature Fields on the Processing of Polymer Powders by Means of Laser and Mask Sintering Technology(University of Texas at Austin, 2011-08-17) Rietzel, D.; Drexler, M.; Kühnlein, F.; Drummer, D.Besides their high potential for individual series-production, powder and beam based additive manufacturing technologies, like laser and mask sintering, are in general still restricted to prototyping applications. This is a result of multiple limitations concerning part properties (e.g. mechanical and geometrical), their insufficient reproducibility due to transient thermal conditions and the limited range of available materials. The main focal point of this paper is to show the influencing parameters (e.g. temperature fields in the building chamber) of powder-based thermoplastic processing technologies on part properties, like porosity and surface quality, and on the processability of further new polymers (e.g. polypropylene and polyoxymethylene).
