In plastic
additive manufacturing, selective laser sintering (SLS) enjoys a few advantages
over fused deposition modelling (FDM). For example, the powder bed surrounding
the build eliminates the need for supports, and parts can be nested in the
build chamber to increase productivity. SLS also benefits from the wide range
of available powders—from nylons, to flexible elastomers, to glass- and metal-
reinforced compounds—and that list is only growing.
