Abstract Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) is a manufacturing technology that produces parts directly from computer-aided design databases. Examples of the SFF approach are selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser reactive sintering (SLRS), both of which have the potential to directly produce structurally sound metallic or ceramic parts. In this article, the philosophical basis for SLS and SLRS of nanocomposites is discussed. Conceptual design of nanocomposite systems and the SLS/SLRS results of a few exploratory systems are presented. (Edited author abstract) [References: 26] XX
