What Is SLS?
Selective laser sintering (SLS) refers to a type of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, where a laser sinters powdered particles into a thin, solid layer on top of a bed of powder. New powder particles cover the previous layer, the laser sinters again, and the process repeats, building a three-dimensional object. There are multiple similar powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing technologies that use some type of binding agent, whether it's a laser’s heat as with SLS, or a liquid binding agent as in multi-jet fusion (MJF) technologies. This comparison will compare compact SLS systems, such as Formlabs’ Fuse 1+ 30W SLS printer, to large-format powder bed fusion solutions.
Applications of SLS 3D Printing
The strength and superior mechanical properties of many SLS printed parts make a wide range of applications possible, from functional prototyping to end-use products in diverse industries.
