Like many Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) users, JawsTec had to forgo usage of 30% of their thermoplastic powder, while also bearing the cost of its storage and disposal in accordance with regulations. This waste of end-of-life powder not only raised the company’s operating overhead and impacted profit, but also represented a significant environmental issue for a company committed to sustainable manufacturing. JawsTec was looking to raise their additive manufacturing output, streamline costs and enhance company sustainability by significantly lowering the waste ratio of sintering powders used.
