AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology helps prevent the formation of unwanted substances during production when producing high molecular weight polymers called PA6. By adding an organic compound like ammonium sulfate or urea instead of water, this technique makes manufacturing easier without causing problems such as excessive foaming or poor flowability. Additionally, the use of specific types of chemicals allows for better heat transfer between different parts within the reactor chamber while maintaining consistently controllable conditions throughout the entire processing cycle. Overall, these technical improvements improve the quality and performance of the resulting product made from polyamides.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the quality control of polymers during selectively LASL process due to their complex shapes and limitations associated therewith such as difficulty in testing them correctly without damaging other components like sensors.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of polyamide powder used for selective laser sintering. By employing a precipitation method to, the method comprises the operations of dissolution, cooling, and precipitation so as to obtain solid powder. The method is characterized in that it is carried out in the presence of a heterogeneous nucleating agent, and the cooling process falls into two stages, with the first stage cooled to a temperature higher than a precipitation temperature by 5-25DEG C and the second stage cooled to the precipitation temperature again, and after isothermal precipitation, the heat is preserved for some time. Being simple and feasible, the method provided in the invention can prepare polyamide powder which has uniform particle size distribution and a good flowing property and is suitable for selective laser sintering (SLS).
