Specifications
Typical values for aerospace r&d parts produced in our certified facilities.
Process
Selective Laser Sintering
Material
Carbon Fiber Nylon (PA12-CF)
Values represent typical XY-plane properties for as-built parts. Z-axis and post-processed specs available on request — every shipment includes a material certificate.
Production workflow
From CAD upload to crated delivery. Every step is timestamped on the digital traveler that arrives with your parts.
DFM review
Applications engineer validates thin walls, draft angles, and SLS-specific constraints within 4 business hours.
Build prep
Nesting, support generation, and tool-path optimization on calibrated Selective Laser Sintering machines.
Production
Lights-out runs on certified reinforced thermoplastic stock. Operator initials logged at every shift change.
QC & ship
First-article inspection + AS9102 paperwork, then DDP shipping with chain-of-custody seal.
Post-processing
Every SLS part ships with standard post-processing included. Upgrade at quote time for parts that need to look (or behave) like production.
Bead-blast standard
Matte uniform finish; included.
Vapor smoothing
Sealed surface; ~50% strength gain in Z.
Dye (black / RAL)
Through-color, no flaking.
EOS-grade media tumble
Soft edge break for handling parts.
