What is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)?

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing process used in producing parts for end-use, low volume production, and rapid prototyping. Products that are manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) are highly accurate and durable.

is an additive manufacturing process which fuses small particles of metal, plastic, ceramic or glass powders into a 3D object. SLS technology relies on high power lasers such as a carbon dioxide laser to selectively fuse the powdered material and create the 3D object.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Applications

Concept Models
The speed, accuracy, and versatility of SLS make it perfect for creating 3D models of new products.

 

Tool Manufacturing
Materials used in SLS, make it an excellent option for producing fixtures, tool masters, and production tooling.

 

Rapid Prototyping
Selective Laser Sintering is capable of producing strong prototypes that will hold up to chemical, thermal and mechanical stress.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Benefits
