SLS technology is a powder bed-based additive manufacturing technology. It is based on sintering small plastic powder particles layer by layer through the application of a scanning laser.
SLS printers have several parts:
At the start of printing, the feeding platform is at the lowest point with the cylinder full of powder ready to print, while the printing platform is at the highest point with an empty cylinder. Once printing starts, the process is as follows:
SLS 3D printing has a number of characteristics that make it stand out when it comes to producing functional components.
This guide discusses concepts in a general way and does not focus on a particular brand or model, although they may be mentioned at some point. There may be important differences in calibration or adjustment procedures between different makes and models, so it is recommended that the manufacturer's manual be consulted before reading this guide.
