Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a free form fabrication method to produce components by precise thermal fusing (sintering) of powered material. The powder is sintered to a pre-determined thickness by scanning a CO2 laser across the surface of the powdered material. After completion of one layer a fresh layer of powder is applied on the part.The un-sintered material acts as a support, which will be later manually removed.
