Laser Sintering, short for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) is a rapid prototyping and short run rapid manufacturing process. This is cutting edge technology, which can be applied to almost every industry, including electronics, aviation, aerospace, automotive, oil refining, pump and valve applications, medical tools, implants and surgical planning, as well as military equipment and others. Complexity is hardly ever an issue.

Rapid Prototyping Laser Sintering is the next step in fast, cost effective part production. The process not only saves time and reduces costs in production, it allows manufacturers to accommodate engineering changes quickly and improve supportability after products leave the factory. This allows customers to make design improvements that were previously considered too expensive and to rely on the quick availability of spare parts without having to buy large inventories of them.

Advantages of Selective Laser Sintering

• Increase product reliability – identify design problems quickly
• Produce durable parts without tooling
• Prototypes can withstand form, fit and functional testing
• Parts can be readily joined mechanically or with adhesives
• No support structures are needed — parts are cleaner and require less post-processing
• Can be finished and painted
Best Applications for SLS®

• Parts for mechanical and thermal tests
• Series of small plastic parts
• Large and complex functional parts
• Master patterns for castings and secondary processes
• Functional models.
