    Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a manufacturing technique that uses a laser to sinter powdered material such as plastic or elastomer into a solid 3D object layer by layer. The powder stays on a table that moves horizontally while the laser has fixed vertical movement. SLS can produce parts up to 30cm x 30cm x 60cm in size with minimum wall thicknesses ranging from 0.85mm to 0.60mm depending on the material. Example materials used include nylon and elastomer powders. Finished parts require 12-24 hours to cool before removal from the powder bed.
