Robust solution for complex geometries and precise dimensions
SLS is an additive manufacturing technology that produces 3D models by sintering powdered PA 12 material layer by layer with a laser.
What is SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)?
There are no support parts in SLS technology.
Powdered PA12 material is used as raw material.
Prints completed as a result of layer by layer sintering of powdered polyamide material with laser are in the quality of the final product in terms of dimensional accuracy and strength.
SLS is suitable for the surface smoothing process called chemical polishing and provides plastic injection quality parts.
