Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a laser to sinter powder based materials together, layer-by-layer, to form a solid model. A thin layer of build material is spread across the platform where the laser traces a two-dimensional cross section of the part, sintering the material together. The platform then descends a layer thickness and the leveling roller pushes material from the powder cartridge across the build platform, where the next cross section is sintered to the previous. This continues until the part is completed .
- Ideal for durable, functional parts.
- Capable of producing snap fits and living hinges.
- Good Choice for high-heat & chemically resistant applications.
- Materials available in a variety of metals, glass, and polymers
