Dear List,

Could any practitioners of the SLS RapidTool process answer the following:

Mechanical properties of the brown part
Pore size and structure of the brown part
Surface finish of brown part
Dimensional change on burnout/sintering when moving from green to brown part
(is it a global figure or geometry dependant? How is the figure
calculated?)
Rough cost per unit volume of brown part (ie cost to build a 100mm cube)
Particle size of metal powder (what options are available)
What is the metal powder (what options are available)
What is the binder

Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Matt
