What is the turn-around time for each process?

Obviously turn-around time depends on many factors including size and quantity of parts, finishing requirements, etc., but we typically ship SLA parts in one to three days, SLS plastic parts in two to four days, SLS metal parts in three to five days, and urethane parts in five to seven days.

What are the minimum feature size, layer resolution and accuracy tolerances for each process?

The SLA Process: The SLA process typically produces features as small as 0.006″ to 0.013″ (depending on the machine and build process), at layer resolutions from .001″ to .006″, with an accuracy tolerance of +/- 0.005″ per inch. The SLS process: The SLS process typically produces features as small as .030″, at layer resolutions from .004″ to .006″, with an accuracy tolerance of +/- 0.010 per in.

What are the size limitations?

Stereolithography: The largest SLA systems can build single-piece parts as large as 26” x 30” x 22”. Larger parts can be built by sectioning and bonding the pieces. Selective Laser Sintering: The largest SLS systems can build single-piece parts as large as 22″ x 22″ 30″.

What types of files does Scicon accept?

Ultimately, except in the CNC area which requires native CAD files, our machines require an STL file. However, we can accept a variety of other formats, from which we can create the required STL format. These include: – Solidworks (.sldprt, .sldasm) – IGES (.igs, .iges) – STEP (.stp, .step) – ProE (.prt) – CAD systems using ParaSolid kernel (.x_t) – CAD systems using Polygon surface representation (.obj) – ZIP archived files (.zip)

What are my options for additive manufacturing?

As a Tier One partner in the 3D System’s 3Dproparts network, we can deliver parts in just about any SLA or SLS material required. We run the following material in our in-house SLA and SLS systems: – SLA: Accura 25, Accura 50, Accura 60, and Accura Xtreme. – SLS: DuraForm HST, DuraForm EX, and we are one of only a few service companies worldwide running LaserForm A6. If none of these materials suits the project, our in-house material experts are ready to recommend a material for just about every need.

What is CNC Machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is a modern machining method use to perform a wide range of machining tasks on a variety of metal and plastic materials. The primary advantage of CNC machining is that it allows for greatly improved accuracy, efficiency, productivity and safety over other forms of metalworking equipment. Virtually every piece of metalworking equipment is available in the CNC – lathes, drills, milling machines, routers, turret punches, grinders and other high-powered cutting devices.
