Powder Batch Colouring in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

塑料部件的选择性激光烧结（SLS）已成为创意产业日益成熟的工具。增材制造（AM）是一种数字技术，它正在逐步与互联网集成，允许消费者设计和个性化自己的产品。尽管使用AM的设计自由，但聚合物的颜色选择仅限于黑色、白色和天然聚合物颜色。虽然零件可以染色，但它们仅限于鲜艳的颜色，并且仅对零件的表面着色。该项目的目的是为客户提供不仅是一个批次的颜色选择批量的基础上，但也有可能为客户选择他们所需要的颜色的阴影。

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) of plastic components has become an increasingly established tool for the creative industries. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a digital technology that it is progressively being integrated with the internet, allowing consumers to design and personalise their own products. Despite the freedom of design using AM, polymer choice of colour is restricted to black, white and natural polymer colours. Although parts can be dyed, they are limited to vivid colours and only colour the surface of the parts. The aim of this project is to provide customers with not only a choice of colour on a batch to batch basis but also the potential for a customer to choose the shade of colour they require.
