Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Sinterstation 2500 Machine Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a free-form fabrication technology developed by the 3D Systems. It is a layered manufacturing method that creates solid, three-dimensional objects by fusing powdered materials with a CO2 laser. A thin layer of powder material is laid down and the laser “draws” on the layer, sintering together the particles hit by the laser. The layer is then lowered a small amount and a new layer of powder is placed on top. This process is repeated one layer at a time until the part is complete. Please consult the SLS process description on the 3D Systems web site for more information.

PADT operates a Sinterstation 2500 Plus SLS machine with Hi-Q thermal control. The specifications of our machine and some information on SLS are given below.
