Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) - Advanced Additive Manufacturing

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing process for durable, complex parts using powdered materials.

LASER-BASED POWDER FUSION TECHNOLOGY FOR DURABLE, COMPLEX POLYMER PARTS.

PROS:

NO SUPPORT STRUCTURES, STRONG AND FUNCTIONAL PARTS MADE FROM DURABLE POLYMER PARTS, HIGH DESIGN FREEDOM FOR FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES PRODUCED USING LASER-BASED POWDER FUSION.

CONS:

ROUGH SURFACE FINISH, LONGER COOLING TIME, POST-PROCESSING REQUIRED FOR DURABLE POLYMER PARTS AND FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES CREATED THROUGH LASER-BASED POWDER FUSION.

MATERIALS:

NYLON (PA12, PA11), TPU, and COMPOSITES are ideal materials for creating durable polymer parts and functional prototypes using laser-based powder fusion.

TYPICAL SIZE:

MEDIUM TO LARGE (~700 MM DEPENDING ON SYSTEM), suitable for creating durable polymer parts and functional prototypes using laser-based powder fusion.

WHEN TO USE:

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES AND END-USE PARTS, PARTICULARLY WHEN DURABILITY AND GEOMETRIC COMPLEXITY ARE REQUIRED, CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH DURABLE POLYMER PARTS CREATED USING LASER-BASED POWDER FUSION.
