SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS) MATERIAL
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a Nylon-based powder similar
to actual engineering thermoplastics, so parts exhibit greater
toughness and are accurate, but have rough surface and lack
fine details. SLS offers a large build volume, can produce part
with highly complex geometries and creates durable prototypes.
