Selective Laser Sintering

Team participating in European Rover Challenge built a Mars rover with SLS parts, nabbing 6th place in the student competition.

While there’s been a recent boom in the popularity of 3D printing over the last decade, it’s actually been around for over 35 years. The technology started as an extremely expensive, niche method of manufacturing that held few advantages...

Plan is to dually accelerate materials adoption, drive additive manufacturing industry growth.

Formlabs also announces Nylon 11 CF Powder, a carbon-fiber reinforced material that expands applications for manufacturers.

Precision Additive, an industrial 3D printing service bureau, has launched in Englewood, CO.

Formlabs Fuse 1 SLS 3D printer is a production-ready system that can fit on a desktop.

Shipping now, the Fuse 1 brings Surface Armor technology, a 70% powder refresh rate and the new versatile Nylon 12 powder to deliver a simplified industrial 3D printing workflow, company says.

Braskem and ALM began their partnership in 2018, focusing on the development of polyolefin-based powders for SLS.

Instead of using external service providers, Daimler Buses plans to set up its first service bases in 2020 as its own 3D printing centers for spare parts and individual­ized components.

With FATHOM's recent announcement of its acquisition by CORE Industrial Partners, FATHOM will continue to expand its capabilities and provide industry-leading solutions for additive manufacturing.

Reduced powder costs up to 80% by reusing powder in the SLS process.

Created by FATHOM's Application Engineering Team, this design guideline on 3D printing and manufacturing technologies includes PolyJet, SLA, FDM, SLS, and MJF. The easy-to-use chart highlights wall thickness, hole diameter, clearance for assemblies, escape holes, minimum detail, pin diameter, accuracy,...

Based on selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, this system can handle rapid production of functional and durable nylon parts.

All three reports detail 3D printing from a technological viewpoint and include a range of 10-year forecasts to gain a perspective on where this emerging technology.

The modular and compact selective laser sintering system is built for scalability.
