Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Cold Fusion Metal 3D Printing: A Breakthrough in Mass Production

The CMF technology introduces a cost-effective method for SLS systems to mass-produce high-quality alloy parts, including stainless steel, titanium alloys, and mold steels. This approach eliminates the need for support structures, reduces post-processing time, and minimizes material costs.

Compared to Metal Injection Molding (MIM), CMF technology enables flexible, mold-free, small-batch production, serving as a powerful complement to traditional methods. Green parts produced via CMF are more stable, reliable, durable, and machinable than those made with binder-based processes. This technology supports industrial products with a minimum wall thickness of 1mm and finds extensive applications in aerospace, automotive, mold-making, and tooling.

Efficiency

CMF technology significantly boosts the productivity of 3D-printed metal parts. Through a streamlined process of printing, debinding, and sintering, components can be delivered within just three days.

Quality  

CMF reduces defects during printing and processing while enabling high-precision quality through post-processing techniques such as surface smoothing, threading, milling, and sandblasting. Uniform shrinkage during debinding enhances the accuracy of large-scale components. Tests reveal that stainless steel and titanium parts printed using CMF surpass the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation standards of metal injection-molded parts.

Cost-Effectiveness  

By integrating metal powders into a high-performance binder system, CMF eliminates the need for supports, drastically lowering operational costs and increasing production output. Component costs can be reduced by up to 90%.

One-Stop Solution  

CMF offers an economical and integrated production solution. By preloading specific CMF programs, SLS equipment can produce end-use metal parts with industrial-grade quality and precision tolerances.

Large-Scale Production  

Farsoon Technologies' 403P series features a forming cylinder size of 400mm × 400mm × 450mm, optimizing space utilization and printing efficiency. This allows for the seamless production of large-scale components without the need for subsequent assembly.
