SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D Printing Service

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter powdered material (typically nylon or polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure. SLS is a process that can produce strong and accurate functional parts by sintering the powder into solid parts layer by layer usually with high powered laser beams. Nylon is the most common material used for the SLS process. The finished parts usually have a rough outer texture. Flexible parts can also be made out of SLS. Nylon parts are known for their strength. Because of the homogeneity of the process, the parts are reliable and can be used as functional parts. The process is relatively inexpensive compared to SLA.
