Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Rapid Prototype
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a process which creates 3D SLS prototypes by fusing or sintering powdered thermoplastic materials or metals to form functional prototypes. ProtoCAM is a premier selective laser sintering service bureau. An advantage to using SLS is the range of materials that can be used, including nylon, metals, and elastomers. Rapid prototype (RP) laser sintering can provide a competitive edge in your product development by producing rapid plastic or metal SLS prototypes with complex shapes that closely resemble injection-molded parts.
SLS rapid prototyping Highlights:
1.Considerably stronger than SLA; sometimes structurally-functional parts are possible.
2.Laser beam selectively fuses powdered materials: Nylon, elastomers, and soon metal.
3.Advantage over SLA: The variety of materials, and the ability to approximate common engineering plastics.
4.No milling step, so accuracy in z can suffer.
5.Process is simple: No milling or masking steps are required.
6.Living hinges are possible with the thermoplastic-like materials.
7.The surface will be powdery and porous unless sealant is used. Sealant also strengthens the part.
8.Uncured material is easily removed after a build by brushing or blowing it off.
SLS rapid prototyping Applications:
a.Limited number of prototypes needed (1-10).
b.Form and fit testing
c.Functional testing
d.Field testing
