Materials for SLS 3D Printing (Laser Sintering)

    Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) eliminates the need for printing supports, allowing total geometric freedom to create complex mechanisms and parts with high structural strength. Analyse the properties of our technical polyamides to ensure optimum performance in functional tests and end-use applications.
