SLS Additive Technology

< Back to On-Demand 3D Printing

How does it work?

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a laser to melt cross-sections of a CAD design into a thin layer of powder. After each layer, the build plate drops, and process repeats until finished.

Benefits

Durable and high-impact capabilities

Complex geometries and dimensional accuracy

High resolution and fine feature details

Heat resistant

Repeatable

Applications

Production Parts

Manufacture medium to large volumes of water and air-tight parts with high dimensional accuracy.

Functional Prototypes

Highly accurate parts with unique geometries, complex dimensions, and specifications

ECS Ducting

Produce strong parts to meet demanding weight, geometrical, and component configuration requirements.

Technical Data

Layer Thickness 0.004 in

Accuracy/Tolerance ± 0.002 – 0.012 in

Max Single Size Part 13 x 11 x 16.5”

*Accuracy/tolerance may vary with part geometry, dimensions, and build orientation
*Numbers are based on published Stratasys data
