Selective Laser Sintering

SLS_Header

The Selective Laser Sintering process is ideal for producing tough, functional prototype models required for product testing, direct from customer supplied 3D CAD data. Models can withstand rigorous testing and high temperatures (up to 150 C) making them ideal for use in under bonnet applications, impact testing, and even as final production mouldings.

Requiring very little post cleanup, parts can be produced in nylon or glass filled nylon, with part complexity no issue at all. Fully functional snap fits and living hinges can be accurately produced and tested.

Selective Laser Sintering  parts can also be fully finished, painted, water sealed or colored to customer requirements to give highly functional and aesthetic models!
