Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is one of the most popular 3D printing technologies that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are perfect for end-use, low-to-mid volume production, or rapid prototyping.
Though SLS provides high detail quality and perfect production repeatability, it is one of the most inexpensive options for industrial 3D printing services because it can build parts in bulk without support structure requirements. SLS 3D printed parts can be post-processed by media tumbling and colouring.
Lead time: 3 days
Build volume: up to 340 x 340 x 605 mm (320 x 320 x 580 mm recommended)
Layer thickness: ~0.1 mm and for water-tight parts 1.5 mm
Minimum feature size: 0.5 mm
Tolerance: ±0.3% (± 0.3 mm)
