3D Printing Technologies
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a popular 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse small particles of polymer powder into solid, three-dimensional shapes. Unlike other 3D printing processes that rely on layers of filament or liquid resins, SLS works by heating the powder just below its melting point and then using the laser to selectively sinter the material layer by layer, following a digital design file. This process allows for the creation of complex, durable parts without the need for support structures, making it ideal for creating intricate geometries and functional prototypes.
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Metal 3D Printing
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an advanced metal 3D printing technology that uses a high-energy laser to fully melt and fuse metal powder particles together to form solid, fully dense components. Unlike Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which partially melts materials, SLM reaches the full melting point of metals, allowing for the creation of parts with superior strength, durability, and mechanical properties. SLM is primarily used with metals such as titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel-based superalloys.
This technology is particularly valuable in industries that demand high-performance materials, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical fields. SLM allows engineers to create complex geometries, including internal structures and lattice designs, that would be difficult or impossible to produce with traditional manufacturing methods. The result is lightweight, highly durable components with excellent resistance to heat, stress, and corrosion.
