80. How do you make metal RP parts and tooling inserts?
An SLS metal part is made as following:
1) Build a "green" part on the machine by fusing powdered steel particles with a polymer binder material;
2) In a furnace cycle the binder is burned away, the steel particles are lightly sintered and molten bronze wicks into the resulting pores forming a fully dense steel/bronze object. Most other metal parts are created by casting in temporary tooling created from a pattern master made on a rapid prototyping apparatus, or by machining objects from a block of bar stock.
