Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) involves the use of a high power laser to fuse small particles of metal, plastic, glass powders or ceramic into a mass that has a desired 3dimensional shape. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3D digital description of the part (for example a STL file) on the surface of a powder bed. After each cross section is scanned, the powder bed is lowered by one layer thickness, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.

Available materials: FIT PA (Polyamide), FIT Alumide, FIT PA GF (Polyamide glass fibre) or FIT Elastomer.
