Understanding the Differences Between SLS and SLA
Understanding the Differences Between SLS and SLA Definition of SLS and SLA Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a process whereby powder materials are melted together with a laser to form a solid object. This process uses a high-powered laser to selectively fuse powdered particles together layer by layer. SLS is a particularly useful method for creating complex shapes, as the laser can be directed to precisely target the areas where the material needs to be fused. Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing process in which a thin layer of liquid resin is cured by a laser beam. The laser is…
