Overview
While industrial 3D printing promises more flexibility and creative freedom than traditional manufacturing, understanding different materials and technologies can be a challenge. Here’s your easy path into the limitless world of polymer 3D printing.
Selective laser sintering (SLS), the technology perfected by EOS, uses plastic polymers in powder form that are fused using a precise laser. The result is robust functional parts with high design freedom, as no support structures are required.
The innovative fine detail resolution (FDR) technology uses a laser beam that takes precision to new heights. This is opening the door to extremely stable, filigree parts with an ultra-smooth surface finish across different materials and applications.
