Hi.
Me personally was touched by one patented technology "light engine with the ability to multiplex a single laser beam into several million microlasers". This technology use a sacral term "quantum".
I try to understand how it is possible with 3kW. Thank to yours ideas and attention.
Have a nice day,

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you please post some links to the patent and to the other reading you have been doing about your question? That would help us out a lot in trying to reply to your questions. Thanks.

Related to Can Quantum Laser Sintering Revolutionize 3D Printing?

1. What is Quantum Laser Sintering?

Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to selectively fuse powder particles together, creating a solid object layer by layer. It is a type of additive manufacturing that allows for the production of complex and precise parts with high resolution and durability.

2. How does Quantum Laser Sintering work?

In QLS, a layer of powder material is spread evenly over a build platform. A laser is then used to selectively melt and fuse the powder particles together according to a 3D digital model. The build platform is then lowered and another layer of powder is spread, repeating the process until the entire object is formed.

3. What materials can be used in Quantum Laser Sintering?

QLS can work with a variety of materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and even composites. The type of material used depends on the specific application and desired properties of the final product.

4. What are the advantages of using Quantum Laser Sintering?

QLS offers many advantages over traditional manufacturing methods. It allows for the production of complex shapes and designs that are difficult or impossible to achieve with other techniques. It also has a faster production time, lower costs for small production runs, and reduces material waste.

5. What are the limitations of Quantum Laser Sintering?

While QLS has many benefits, it also has some limitations. One limitation is the size of the build platform, which can restrict the size of the objects that can be produced. Additionally, the surface finish of QLS parts may not be as smooth as parts produced with other techniques. Finally, the initial cost of equipment can be high, making it more suitable for industrial or commercial use rather than personal use.
