SLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered materials typically nylon layer by layer to form a solid 3D object. The laser selectively sinters (heats and bonds) particles in a powder bed according to a digital 3D model, while the rest of the powder remains loose to support the part during printing. After each layer, the build platform lowers, and a new layer of powder is spread. SLS is valued for producing strong, durable, and complex parts without the need for support structures, making it ideal for functional prototypes and end-use components.
Turnaround in as little as 48 hours for single parts.
Layer resolutions down to 25 microns for smooth results.
Suitable for detailed prototypes, miniature models, jewellery.
