Building a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printer!

What is SLS 3D Printing? Instagram: Sintratec Kit (USA): Sintratec Kit (EU): Common tools and supplies: This is a one-of-a-kind video that walks through all of the components and theory that go into building a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printer. SLS is a much different 3D printing technology than filament- and resin-based 3D printers that have become increasingly common in the household. While not as popular among hobbyists due to cost, SLS printers are very prominent in the industry because they are capable of printing strong and durable parts out of nylon. SLS printers take powder as a raw material and fuse it together with a laser in a defined geometry. After one layer of powder is fused together another layer is swept over with a blade or roller. This powder handling system and optical setup is very unique to the SLS process and
