About

In this episode, we dive into the topic of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which is one of the most sophisticated 3D printing methods and is highly regarded for rapid prototyping and production of small batches. SLS technology is based on the use of a laser with very high intensity to melt different types of powdered materials together. Besides this, it is a very effective technique for producing complex geometries as well as very strong parts which do not require support structures. The method has become a staple in the aerospace automotive medical device, and consumer goods sectors with the three most important advantages of it being the accuracy, longevity, and freedom of design. On the other hand, with SLS the engineers get the possibility of not only shortening the product cycle but also making the prototypes that are as close to the final product as possible in terms of functionality. So stay tuned.
