What is SLS?
Selective Laser Sintered (SLS) Nylon 12 is a durable versatile plastic that can be used for a wide range of applications, both for prototyping and for end products. When thin this versatile plastic is flexible enough for hinges and springs and when thick, it’s strong enough for structural components.
