Selective Laser Sintering or SLS 3d printing is a laser technology that fuses powder materials of plastic, glass, ceramic, and a range of different material powders by heating, rather than melting, to print a hardened three-dimensional object.
Unlike other printing technologies, SLS 3D printing service doesn't require any supports to hold the printed objects or protect from falling during printing. This also saves material costs as the parts stay in the bed of powder. It is most useful for engineers in product development because of cost-effective and faster functional prototyping and production. Besides cost, SLS rapid prototyping process also saves time required for sanding after the object is printed.
SLS technology is among the most popular 3D printing technologies for industrial and engineering applications. It is used to produce functional parts and prototypes from various materials, including metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. Selective Laser Sintering printers use laser beams to selectively fuse powdered material, layer by layer, to create a three-dimensional object. The resulting component is solid and does not require any support structure.
