What is SLS?
Selective Laser Sintering (LS) is a way to build prototypes early in the design cycle or production parts in a wide variety of applications.
LS production parts are strong, water and air-tight, heat resistant and repeatable. This robust process can build parts for all stages of the production lifecycle, from prototyping to low-volume manufacturing opportunities.
Why choose Selective Laser Sintering?
Parts produced with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology can rival injection-molded and machined plastic parts, with excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance. SLS is an extremely versatile method that can work for a huge variety of materials, from very stiff to flexible. Because there’s no need for support structures, SLS printing is a good choice for producing very complex geometries.
SLS is commonly used for functional prototypes, tooling, fixtures, design evaluation models, small manufacturing runs, and product testing. SLS parts have been flight-certified and are being used today in civil and military aircraft around the world.
