SLS
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an Additive Manufacturing process belonging to the Powder Bed Fusion family, whereby a laser sinters polymer powder, fusing it layer-by-layer to form a finished part.
CA Models currently has two SLS systems, an EOSINT P395 which builds parts with improved surface finish in glass-filled nylon with a build envelope of 340mm x 340mm x 620mm.
Our second machine is an EOSINT P730 building fully functional plastic parts in PA Nylon. This machine has an envelope size of 700mm x 380mm x 580mm.
