“The Process of SLS in 3D Printing The Selective Laser Sintering process resembles that of other powder bed fusion technologies in the following ways: A designer produces a 3D model using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program. The design is split into thin (2D) layers. The split design is sent to the SLS printer. A leveling roller spreads a thin layer of powdered material across the printer’s build platform. A CO2 laser traces a cross-section of the material, heating and fusing it. Once a layer is complete, the build platform is lowered to allow space for the next layer of powder. Unused material is recycled after each layer is finished. The SLS process is repeated, building layer-on-layer until the part is completed. During the printing process, SLS parts are encompassed by unsintered powder. This extra powder supports the part during printing, removing the need for support structures.”
