What is SLS?
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powder-based 3D printing technology. It makes use of a high powered laser that selectively scans a thin layer of powder and sinters the small powdered plastic particles together to form 3D object, layer by layer.
Benefits of Industrial SLS 3D Printing
Unlike most other additive manufacturing technologies, SLS does not require any form of support as the leftover unsintered powder acts as self-supporting material. Thus, extremely complex geometries are made possible.
The technology is a great choice when 3D printing functional prototypes as SLS printed parts are robust and will not become brittle over time. In fact, the durability of parts created with SLS technology is on par with those produced through traditional manufacturing methods such as injection moulding.
In comparison to MJF, SLS also has more material options.
