An additive manufacturing process that is a hybrid of powder bed fusion and binder jetting. Inkjet print heads deposit an infrared absorbing material in the pattern wanted for that layer on the top layer of a powder bed. Then heat from a lamp is used to fuse the material where the absorbing chemical was deposited. It is faster than selective laser sintering and creates stronger parts than binder jetting because the powder is fused and not bonded.
Similar to multi jet fusion (MJF) and selective absorption fusion (SAF).
Abbreviated as HSS.
