Produces parts directly from 3D CAD model; layer by layer similar to SLA but rather than liquid resin, powder is used. The CO2 Laser provides a concentrated heating beam which is traced over the tightly compacted layer of fine heat-fusible powder. This process is called sintering. The basic material consists of powder having properties of PA & GF PA.
SLS is the effective solution for
- Fully functional prototypes & small series production.
- Large & complex functional parts.

Why SLS
- Fast
- Durable & functional Parts.
|
- Large & Complex parts.
- Small series produced in one building process.
