Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a CO2 laser to sinter (fuse) powder based materials together, layer-by-layer, to create a solid prototype. SLS can build highly complex parts with a wide variety of materials.

The key advantage of SLS is its ability to produce functional prototypes with production-like qualities and premium low ash casting patterns for the production of metal parts.

Benefits:

• Avoid premature tooling costs
• Functional prototypes
• Durable patterns
• Even plastic parts for final use
• Produces strong, durable, stable parts
• Resists heat & chemicals

Materials:

• Flexform
• DuraForm GF
• DuraForm PA
• Investment Casting Wax
• Composite Nylon
• Fine Nylon

Types of Finishes:

• Painted
• Metalic
• DuraDye

Applications of Selective Laser Sintering:

• Create visual models
• Tooling for injection molding
• Reproduce complex designs and geometries
• Test parts under extreme conditions
• Shorten time to market
• Efficiently producing small quantities of testable plastic parts
• Custom molders create complex tooling inserts
