Detailed Description

This SLS nylon 3D printed special-shaped tube housing is a functional structural part that can be directly produced without molds. It is integrally formed by laser sintering nylon powder without support structures, capable of printing internal cavities, special-shaped tubes, flange mounting holes and window structures to perfectly restore the complex flow channels and mounting interfaces of the design. PA12 nylon material features high strength, high toughness, impact resistance and corrosion resistance, which can withstand long-term use in fluid media and industrial environments. The matte frosted surface has anti-slip texture, can be used directly, or optimized in appearance and performance through post-processing such as sandblasting, coloring and dip coating. It is the preferred solution for fluid pipelines, ventilation ducts, equipment housings and non-standard functional components.

Manufacturing Process

  1. SLS/MJF 3D printing: Laser sintering nylon powder, integrally forming complex tube and housing structures
  2. Powder cleaning and post-processing: Removing residual internal powder to ensure unobstructed tubes and cavities
  3. Optional sandblasting, coloring and dip coating to optimize surface texture and wear resistance
  4. High-precision flange holes, windows and tubes formed in one pass, no secondary processing required

Overall process: SLS Selective Laser Sintering, mold-free rapid prototyping, focusing on low-volume customization and functional verification of complex structural parts.

Product Advantages

  1. No molds required, rapid prototyping, greatly shortening development cycles and reducing sampling costs
  2. PA12 nylon material, high strength and toughness, impact and corrosion resistant, suitable for fluid and industrial scenarios
  3. Integrated tube and housing structure, no splicing or leakage risk, strong structural stability
  4. Matte frosted surface with anti-slip texture, can be used directly or treated with various post-processing
  5. Suitable for low-volume customization, no mold fees, design can be modified on demand with flexible adjustments
  6. Can print complex tubes, flow channels, flanges and special-shaped curved surfaces, easily forming structures that cannot be achieved by traditional processing

Low-volume production places higher demands on consistency and delivery efficiency. Backed by high-precision equipment and a stable production system, KT maintains reliable output even in small batches—ensuring each part meets consistent dimensional accuracy and quality standards. By minimizing batch variation and uncertainty, we help reduce trial risks and keep projects moving forward efficiently.

When handling high-mix, low-volume demands, KT remains responsive while maintaining delivery pace, without compromising quality or lead time.

Detailed Description

This precision flange positioning piston is a core guiding and sealing part for hydraulic/pneumatic equipment and automation transmission mechanisms. Integrally turn-mill machined from stainless steel bar, the outer stepped flange surface is precision processed to ensure installation positioning accuracy. The central through-hole is formed in one pass with high coaxiality, enabling coaxial guidance of the shaft system and piston reciprocating motion, perfectly matching with cylinders and seals to reduce friction and leakage, ensuring equipment operation stability and transmission efficiency. Stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and high-strength, suitable for humid, acidic and high-pressure industrial environments, with excellent batch consistency and interchangeability.
