  • Integral Nut Slot System In SLS Details
    Publication number: 20050285314
    Abstract: A system for manufacturing a tool within a laser sintering system includes a chamber enclosing a sinter material. The laser sintering system grows or sinters a section of the tool from the sinter material in response to signals from a controller. The controller generates the signals as a function of a predetermined tool design. The predetermined tool design includes defining a slot in the section of the tool, wherein the slot receives a weld-nut after sintering is complete for strengthening a portion of the section of the tool.

  • SLS For Tooling Applications
    Publication number: 20050287031
    Abstract: A system for sintering a tool within a laser sintering system includes a chamber enclosing a sinter material. The laser sintering system grows or sinters the tool from the sinter material in response to signals from a controller. The controller generates these signals as a function of a predetermined tool design. A heat sink is positioned within the chamber to cool features of the tool, thereby limiting warping of these features during sintering of the tool.

  • Joint Design For Large SLS Details
    Publication number: 20050278933
    Abstract: A system for manufacturing a tool within a laser sintering system includes a chamber enclosing a sinter material. The laser sintering system grows or sinters the tool from the sinter material in response to signals from a controller, which generates the signals as a function of a predetermined tool design. The predetermined tool design includes several sections that are grown separately and are later coupled together.

  • Undercut For Bushing Retention For SLS Details
    Publication number: 20050280189
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a system for manufacturing a tool within a laser sintering system includes a chamber enclosing a sinter material. The laser sintering system grows or sinters sections of the tool and tool contoured details from the sinter material in response to signals from a controller, wherein controller generates the signals as a function of a predetermined tool design. The contoured details include attachment holes, which are strengthened by bushings.
