What is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printing?

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique. By selectively sintering the polymer powder particles in SLS 3D printing, a laser fuses the particles together and builds a component layer by layer. Thermoplastic polymers that arrive in granular form are the materials utilized in SLS. This service works by: 

  1. Powder Material: SLS begins with a bed of powdered material, typically plastics such as nylon or metals like aluminum or titanium

  2. Laser Precision: A high-powered laser selectively fuses the powdered material, layer by layer, according to the 3D model's specifications. This precise laser sintering process ensures accuracy and strength.

  3. Layer-by-Layer Building: The 3D printer repeats the layering process until the entire object is formed. This layer-by-layer approach enables the creation of intricate and detailed parts with excellent structural integrity.

                                                               

Benefits of EMS SLS 3D Printing Services
