    laser sintering
    Laser sintering is an additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology that involves using a laser to selectively fuse powdered materials, typically polymers or metals, layer by layer, to create three-dimensional objects. The process is often referred to as selective laser sintering (SLS) and is commonly used in the production of functional prototypes, end-use parts, and complex geometries. Key features of laser sintering include: Powder bed: The process starts with a thin layer of...
