A three dimensional meshfree-simulation of the selective laser sintering process with constant thermal coefficients applied to nylon 12 powders

摘要

3D printing is an intersting process in the context of creating original objects. Selective laser sintering printers use a laser to fuse polyamide particles together with specific resin and heat. The difference in temperature between the different areas in the process causes the appearance of deformations, the objective of this work is the modeling of the thermal SLS phenomenona, by following the evolution of the temperature as a function of time.This model is based on the resolution of the heat conduction equation coupling with convection and radiation conditions with a distribution heat source and constant thermal coefficients by the meshless method based on radial basis function , the result of this study,will be presented and compared with other works.
