Selective Laser Sintering Nylon 3D Printing
Watch SLS polymer powder bed fusion sinter nylon powder into strong parts, with unfused powder supporting complex geometry without dedicated supports.
Project Summary
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a polymer powder bed fusion process that uses a laser to fuse nylon powder into parts. During printing, surrounding unfused powder supports complex geometries without dedicated support structures. This 20-second video introduces the process and shows part handling in the powder bed.
Transcript
Selective laser sintering uses a laser to fuse nylon powder into parts. Unfused powder supports complex shapes during printing. After the build, parts are handled in the powder bed.
