selective laser sintering (sls)

The selective laser sintering stations (SLS) use a plastic powder to create prototype parts. The powder is melted, layer by layer, by a computer-directed heat laser. Additional powder is deposited on top of each solidified layer and again sintered.

SLS allows for the most diversity in material selection, including nylon, glass-filled nylon, SOMOS (rubber-like) and Truform (investment casting). Also available is a new polyamide nylon material called Duraform and copper Duraform for direct tooling. The SLS process provides the most functional rapid prototype available.
