Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing method in which a powdered material is sintered layer by layer using a laser. The laser strategically scans and sinters the powder particles along a predetermined path, gradually building up the entire object. The materials used in SLS are typically polyamides and other engineering thermoplastic powders.
SLS is one of the most popular forms of 3D printing. It is an additive manufacturing technology that uses a laser to selectively sinter a powdered material layer by layer to build the part. The technology does not require a support material, which allows greater freedom in designing and building complex geometries. These advantages should be considered when designing for SLS to achieve the best result.
