SLS for Rapid Prototyping

Eliminating guesswork in tooling design

Selective Laser Sintering, or SLS, is a technology that allows engineers to bypass traditional tooling, and instead produce functional parts from powdered thermoplastics. The process leverages computer-aided design, eliminating the guesswork that has traditionally gone into designing parts for manufacturing tooling operations.

This method yields solid 3D objects by fusing particles of polymer-based powders with a laser. The rapid prototyping technique produces highly durable, heat-resistant parts used in testing, and sometimes in actual use in especially challenging environments.
