SLS technology is among the most trusted and popular additive manufacturing choices for engineers. With higher productivity, wide material selection, and low-cost production, SLS is an industrial 3d printing method. KARV Automation is a leading on-demand manufacturing company that offers full-fledged SLS services to meet your every product goal.
What is SLS 3D Printing Technology?
SLS or selective laser sintering creates solid objects layer-by-layer by sintering fine polymer powder particles using a laser. During this 3d printing manufacturing, the machine preheats the powder material below its melting point. It becomes accessible for the laser to raise the temperature of selected areas. The laser head moves according to the 3d CAD file & the platform gets lower every time before preparing a new layer.
Compared to other technologies like SLA, FDM, SLS additive manufacturing doesn’t require any support structure. Instead, the powder acts as a self-supporting component that makes it possible for engineers to create complex geometries in a shorter turnaround.
