Rapid Manufacturing SLS Design Guide--Applications and Technologies of Selective Laser Sintering

July 7, 2014
Sponsored by Quickparts Solutions
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) is the rapid prototyping technology of choice for a range of functional prototype applications, including those with snap fits, living hinges and other mechanical joints. The ability of SLS to produce several pieces at one time also makes the process a good choice for Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) of products requiring strength and heat resistance.
