SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Laser sintering is one of the most versatile and frequently used 3D printing technologies.
In the SLS process, microscopic plastic particles (nylon powders) are exposed to a high-power laser that fuses them together to form a three-dimensional solid object. The powder is released onto a platform which is then hit by the laser which fuses it into a compact layer. The non-sintered powders on the platform form the support for subsequent layers until the complete object is produced.
RGS vacuum cleaners extract explosive and non-explosive dusts safely.
Equipped with a recovery and sifting system for unused dusts, they allow the dusts to be reused in other printing processes, due to their high cost.
What functions does the vacuum cleaner have?
Cleaning of finished parts
To enable the recovery of dust.
Cleaning the printer
To avoid cross-contamination of different types of dust.
Cleanliness of the working environment
To keep the level of contamination low.
DUST EXTRACTORS, for explosive non-conductive dust used in 3D printers
RGS vacuum cleaners are designed to offer maximum safety, ease of use and robustness for the maintenance of 3D printers.
ATEX Z22 3D vacuum cleaner with wheeled cyclone pre-separator
The vacuum cleaner with dust recovery and screening system allows the dust to be reused in other printing processes.
As these powders are recovered, a cyclone separator is used between the suction hose and the vacuum cleaner to avoid contamination between the different mixtures.
How does the cyclone preseparator work?

The cyclone pre-separator separates the partially melted, and therefore heavier, powders from the powders that can still be used for other melts.
This allows considerable savings in raw material without having to use bulky and expensive screens.
