Why SLS Prototyping is great for Low Volume End Use Parts?
Selective Laser Sintering or SLS is a manufacturing process that enables the construction and fabrication of particularly complex parts, which may be incredibly impractical to produce using conventional manufacturing methods. An SLS prototype is typically created from layers of nylon, which are formed into a shape using additive manufacturing. This 3D printing option is very different from other printing methods like stereolithography, which uses photosensitive resin to produce a part. An SLS prototype will not be damaged and become brittle, when exposed to light, like a resin-based stereolithography print does, when left without a proper protective coat or finish. SLS prototyping is ideal for producing low-volume end use parts, because it doesn’t require additional or prior structural support like SLA models do. This makes this 3D printing prototype service a practical choice when it comes to manufacturing both functional prototypes and end use parts. SLS prototyping “sinters”
