With robust laser power, improved energy distribution to the material, and smaller laser spot size, the new FLIGHT® Technology achieves significantly higher power density upon reaching the surface of the powder bed, thus enabling the full sintering of powder in an extremely short amount of time. With scanning speed of over 20m/s (66 ft/s), FLIGHT® Technology is able to achieve extreme sintering speeds that pushes the additive manufacturing productivity to a new level.

FLIGHT® Technology is able to achieve a more homogenous energy distribution over the processing surface, and a finer spot size compared to the standard laser sintering systems, while at the same time ensuring good energy penetration throughout the entire process. This results in improved feature detail compared to other plastic powder-based technologies with feature details as small as 0.3mm (0.012 inch) while still achieving the part property benefits of standard laser sintering.
