What Is SLS 3D Printing?
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an industrial 3D printing process ideal for manufacturing end-use parts. In SLS 3D system, a laser selectively sinters polymer powder particles, fusing them together and building a part layer-by-layer. From SLS rapid prototyping to small-batch production, our SLS 3D printing facilities will allow you to produce highly accurate parts, with low cost and high quality comparable to injection molding.
SLS produces functional plastic parts with isotropic mechanical properties that can be used for detailed prototyping or end-use low-volume production.

SLS 3D Printing Design Guidelines
The following table summarizes the recommended and technically feasible values for the most common features encountered in 3D printed parts.
| Feature | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| Unsuported Walls | 1mm(0.040") |
| Supported Walls | 0.7mm(0.030") |
| Minimum Detail Size | 0.25mm(0.010") |
| Minimum Hole Size | 1.0mm(0.040") |
| Moving Parts | 0.5mm(0.020")between moving surfaces |
| Assembly Clearance | 0.4mm(0.016")between mating surfaces |
| Max Wall Thickness | 20 mm (0.8''). Thicker parts must be hollowed with and at least two escape holes for powder removal with a min. diameter of 8 mm (0.3''). |
