SLS - Selective Laser Sintering from Advanced Prototyping

SLS Rapid Prototyping - Parts in a Fraction of the Time Versus Conventional Prototyping

Advanced Prototyping's EOS P760 SLS (selective laser sintering) systems directly produce end-use parts, tooling inserts, or casting patterns from your 3D CAD data files. Eliminate the need for machining, tooling, casting or other secondary processes and save time and money. This system uses fusible powder and directed laser heat to build and fuse the prototype, layer by layer. Materials include EOS PA 2200 Nylon. Below is a brief description of each material we offer, as well as a link to the specification page which gives the exact properties of each material used in selective laser sintering.

Intelligent Thermal Control System for Consistent SLS 3D Printing Quality

This core technology accurately monitors build temperatures throughout the build volume, automatically calibrating on a layer-by-layer basis, resulting in extraordinary quality SLS parts with highly consistent mechanical properties throughout the part geometry.
