Experimental and numerical analysis of the selective laser sintering (SLS) of PA12 and PEKK semi-crystalline polymers [PDF]
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2015 Abstract A dual experimental-numerical approach was carried out to estimate thermal cycles and resulting fusion depths obtained during the selective laser sintering (SLS) of two polymers: PA12 and PEKK. The validation of thermal cycles was obtained by considering fusion depths on single layers for different experimental conditions and temperature ...
