About Project

This blog post showcases a ground-mounted cage prototype created using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) in white nylon. The model is a rectangular, open-framed plastic structure designed for stability and functionality.

Sleek Design Meets Functional Strength

  • Sleek Base: The base of the cage features a sleek look with rounded corners.
  • Open-Framed Construction: Several vertical bars rise uniformly from the base, forming a cage-like enclosure.
  • Strategic Mounting Points: Circular holes strategically placed within the base allow for easy ground mounting.
  • Open Accessibility and Structural Integrity: The top of the frame remains open for accessibility, while the interconnected corners of the vertical bars ensure the structure's rigidity.

A Hint of Sophistication in Functionality

  • Compact Size: Standing at roughly 10cm tall, this prototype's design hints towards its potential as a protective casing or a supportive frame for a particular device or component.
  • Clean and Sophisticated Material: The clean, white nylon material, achieved through SLS 3D printing, brings a touch of sophistication to its functionality.

Solution

  • Step 1: Digital Model Creation. A digital 3D model of the cage, including its rectangular base with rounded corners, vertical bars, and circular mounting holes, was first created.
  • Step 2: Material Selection. White nylon powder, chosen for its strength and aesthetic qualities, was then loaded into the SLS machine.
  • Step 3: Layer-by-Layer Sintering. The digital model was sliced into thin cross-sections. A high-powered laser beam selectively sintered, or melted together, the nylon powder layer by layer, following the sliced model data.
  • Step 4: Building Platform Lowering. After each layer was sintered, the building platform automatically lowered, allowing a fresh layer of nylon powder to be deposited on top. This process repeated itself until the entire cage structure was complete.
  • Step 5: Cooling and Removal. Once the building process finished, the chamber cooled down, solidifying the sintered nylon particles. The completed cage was then carefully removed from the build platform.
  • Step 6: Post-Processing. Any excess powder remaining on the cage might have been removed through a light cleaning process. Finally, the prototype underwent quality control checks to ensure it met the desired specifications.
