The Ricoh AM S5500P 3D Printer uses Powder Bed Fusion (or SLS technology) to melt polymer powder to produce parts, and you can choose from a selection of polymer-based materials. This technology uses heat and a smart re-coater combined with a laser to manufacture end-use components, which can be used in a range of industries such as Aerospace, Automotive and Medical. Using advanced thermal control parameters, you benefit from highly accurate and repeatable manufacturing capabilities.
