Capabilities - Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
- Applications
- Prototypes and actual parts
- Material Classes
- Powder-thermoplastics
- Thermoplastic elastomers
- Metals (steel, stainless, high-temp alloys, and titanium)
- Composites
- Process
- SLS uses a laser to solidify powder into a 3-D configuration
- Metal parts are sintered to high density
- Directly produces end-use plastic or metal parts, tooling inserts or casting patterns
