3D Systems sPro 60 HD-HS

The 3D Systems sPro 60 HD-HS is an SLS 3D printer from 3D Systems with a 381 x 330 x 437 mm build volume.

Specifications

3D Systems sPro 60 HD-HS: Technical Specifications

Laser System

The sPro 60 uses a CO₂ laser at 10.6 µm wavelength. Its unique HD/HS dual-mode architecture allows switching between two sintering profiles: HD (High Definition), focused beam with slower scanning for maximum detail; HS (High Speed), wider beam at higher velocity for maximum throughput.

Build Volume

381 × 330 × 437 mm: a substantial production volume enabling nesting of multiple medium-sized parts or single large components in one build cycle.

Optics and Scanning

Galvanometer scanning system with an F-theta lens for uniform focus across the entire build area.

Enclosure and Environment.

Calibration

Calibration Protocol: sPro 60 HD-HS

• Thermal stabilization: Heat the chamber to sintering temperature (PA12 ~168 °C) and wait a minimum of 45 minutes for full stabilization before starting the build.
• Laser calibration (HD and HS modes separately): Run the laser test in 3D Sprint for each mode. Inspect test coupons for correct power and focus.
• Platform leveling: Measure the work surface level at 5 points (4 corners + center). Allowable deviation ±0.1 mm.

Common defects

Common Defects and Solutions, sPro 60 HD-HS

Warping, Flat parts deform during cooling. Cause: rapid cooling or high recycled powder content. Fix: extend cooling; reorient parts; reduce refresh rate.

Delamination: Visible layer separation. Cause: insufficient laser power or incorrect focus. Fix: recalibrate the laser; check the F-theta lens.

Porosity: Voids in cross-section. Cause: moist powder or incorrect process parameters.
