Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powder-based 3D printing technology that uses a laser to fuse material layers into a final part. After the laser traces a cross-section of the CAD design(s) onto a material layer, the build platform lowers and another layer is fused on top. The build platform continues to lower until every layer is built and the part is complete.
SLS technology produces tough and durable parts that excel in high-performance prototyping and end-use applications. SLS uses production-grade nylon materials, resulting in durable, functional parts that last. In fact, SLS printed parts rival other parts produced using traditional manufacturing methods. The robustness of SLS makes this technology great for:
- Complex and durable production parts
- Production and prototype parts that need to withstand high-heat environments or chemical exposure
- Impact resistant partsk
- Automotive design
- Aerospace parts and ducting, flame-retardant parts
- Low-volume production and mass customization solutions
- Medical devices
- Jigs, fixtures and tools
- Investment casting patterns
- Elastomeric and urethane parts, such as gaskets, seals and hoses
