Polymers for 3D Printing
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique typically used for rapid prototyping and low volume production of functional components. The process employs a laser beam to sinter powdered material, binding it together to create a solid structure. The laser selectively fuses pre‐defined areas of a powder bed by scanning cross‐sections generated from a 3D digital description of the required part. After each cross‐section is scanned, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.
