Definitions for "Selective Laser Sintering"
A laser traces the shape of the part to be modeled in a thin layer of powder. The laser sinters (softens and bonds) the powder particles together. This process is repeated over layers of powder.
A layer manufacturing technology in which the layers are formed by using a laser to bond the surface of a bed of powder material in the desired shape.
An important method of producing rapid prototypes. This method involves fusing layers of nylon powder by means of a laser beam guided by the data in CAD files.
