Abstract The SLS Selective Laser Sintering process is a rapid prototyping (RP) process with the unique advantage of processing a broad range of materials in a single RP platform. Prototype parts for functional testing are produced with polyamide, glass-filled polyamide, or TPE. For small quantities of molded parts, the SLS process is used to produce composite, short run mold inserts for molding several hundred parts with common plastics. For large quantities of molded parts, the SLS process is used to produce metal mold inserts for molding over 100,000 plastic parts with most plastics. This presentation will provide background information on the SLS process, describe how the process is used to manufacture parts and molds, and provide application examples showing time and cost savings for designers and manufacturers.
