I will be presenting information about the Sanders process at the Gwaltney
Mfg. Symposium at Georgia Tech on Thursday of this week. In my presentation
I have included a rough means for estimating build times on the Sanders
machine. I must warn you, however, that any build time guesstimating has
its caveats. Those associated with my estimator are that it was designed
for relatively thick-walled tooling components, and only for 0.0005" layer
thickness. It would underpredict build times for thin-walled parts.
The info will be included in the proceedings of the conference.
Good luck, and I hope to see you there.
