Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing process that\u2019s currently trusted by engineers and manufacturers across many different industries for its capability in producing strong, functional parts. Due to the ability to densely pack parts within the build volume, as well as the self-supporting nature of the process removing the need for support structures, it\u2019s especially suited for low-volume production. While SLS was traditionally an expensive process with a high initial investment cost, prices have recently dropped significantly, while still delivering quality parts quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, this approach is not by default suited to all applications. There are significant considerations that must be taken into account when working with powder-based systems, and these can often require additional facilities investment and safety precautions. The variety of available printing materials with SLS may be more limited compared to other 3D printing processes. Parts will also have a textured surface finish that may not be desirable for certain functions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
