[3D Printing Applications] Sinterit: Mastering Three Key Elements, from Production Line to R&D!

【3D Printing Application】Sinterit's Talent Mastered Three Key Areas, From Production Line to R&D!

As the son of a tailor, Szymon grew up in a customized environment and has a different perspective on corporate standardization: the world is changing rapidly, and people need more personalized options than ever before. Not only designers and engineers face this challenge, but this is an economic game that global companies will join and try to win.

 

Additive manufacturing is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy. According to global economic websites, its growth will exceed 23% in 2024. The most important thing is to be in the right place at the right time. He not only inherited knowledge from his family but also possessed design methods and talents and was willing to try new things—just replacing sewing machines with 3D printers.
 
Innovation, Knowledge, 3D Printing
Szymon's school workshop had 3D printers, just like many schools in Taiwan today are introducing 3D printing equipment. Easy-to-use and affordable FDM technology is the most common choice among 3D printers. Understanding the advantages of 3D printing technology for developing electronic devices, enclosures, latches, and various parts, and being able to freely design and produce small electronic accessories, laid the foundation for his entry into the 3D industry.

After joining Sinterit 3D Printing Company, he gained more insights compared to the FDM technology at school. However, manufacturing a desktop SLS 3D printer is not easy, and there are very few manufacturers of similar types on the market, with Sinterit being the leading one. Rapid prototyping or innovative industries often face challenges such as messy wires or connected components, lack of standard tools, or specialized jigs due to rapid changes in the development process. He found that the production processes of Lisa and Lisa Pro printers could also be accelerated and improved.
 
Platform Tester
The first equipment Szymon decided to remake was the "platform tester." The SLS 3D printing principle uses lasers to sinter printing powder, and the platform responsible for raising and lowering the Z-axis moves up and down. Correct layer height is crucial for the operation of the 3D printer and the accuracy of the finished product, and Sinterit can print shell layers as thin as 0.75 mm. He only spent 12 hours designing the electronic device and enclosure for the "platform tester," replacing the original bulky equipment. Directly using the Sinterit Lisa 3D printer to produce and assemble it took only one working day, and these tools could immediately be put to use.


 
High Temperature Detector
Another improved device is the "high temperature detector." Pyrometers monitor the internal temperature of the 3D printer to maintain a stable printing process, and each pyrometer undergoes comprehensive testing before leaving the factory. Since the testing equipment was developed internally, there were no additional protective devices apart from wires and circuit boards, and it was not convenient to move. Szymon's improved tester offers more functionality and reliability, and the entire process, from design and printing to assembly, also took only 12 hours.





From Production Line to
R&D Department
With his production knowledge and electronic skills, Szymon believes that printer production is a holistic process, from high-tech techniques to silicone tube nozzles, all aspects should be emphasized for improvement. There are many innovative ways, but they all revolve around knowledge, effort, and the courage to try new tools—using 3D printers. A series of improvements also allowed his talents to be recognized, quickly promoting him from the production line to the R&D department. Today, Szymon has become a benchmark for other technicians and engineers. The current world offers us more possibilities, and leveraging new 3D printer tools can not only create more valuable products but also improve manufacturing processes and the environment.
