How does SLS Plastic 3D printing work?
The principle of SLS rapid prototyping:
Using infrared laser sintering powder. First, use a powder roller to lay a layer of powder material, and then irradiate the powder layer with a laser beam to raise the temperature of the irradiated powder above the melting point. Sinter and bond with the formed part below. After a layer is sintered, the printing platform descends by a height of one layer thickness, and the powder laying system lays new powder materials on the printing platform, repeating until the final product is finished.

Advantages of SLS rapid prototyping:
Due to the excellent performance of processed materials, SLS is a good choice for prototype and small batch production. SLS components are not only increasingly used in prototype designs, but also in mass production applications in many industries. SLS produces parts with high precision and excellent performance, and can achieve printing of parts with complex geometric shapes.
(1) Small batches and special complex parts directly produce, no need mold opening,shorten the production and development cycle and save costs
(2) Tolerance can be ±0.2mm;
(3) SLS no need supporting structure, and the suspended layer that occurs during the stacking process can be directly supported by unsintered powder
(4) SLS process' utilization rate of materials is high. Since no support is required, so no need to add the base

Parts Structure Requirements for SLS:
SLS is an innovative and efficient processing method that provides a wide range of possibilities for prototype and small batch production. You can make unlimited modifications to your design, hollowing out thicker areas without affecting the appearance and use, which will help maintain cost reduction and effectively reduce product quality. However, it should be noted that overflow holes should be set up for the uncured material inside the cavity
