Abstract Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing process in which a powdered material is heated below its melting point and sintered using a high-intensity laser. The most useful application of this technology pertains to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), which applies SLS technology to the production of strong, complex, metal 3D parts. A…
