Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)


GPI Prototype & Mfg. Services, Inc. provides rapid manufacturing solutions with an efficiency that is unmatched in the industry. With a maximum build volume of 21 5/8″ x 21 5/8″ x 28 7/8″, the Sinterstation® Pro SLS® system currently manufactures the world's largest highly engineered, fully functional parts directly from a CAD model in just a few days.

The development of more capable materials, coupled with the inherent support given by the sintered powder method of construction eliminates the need for auxiliary supports.

Engineers no longer have to concern themselves with making a compromise in their design between functionality and manufacturability. Engineers can now only concern themselves with designing the perfectly functional part, and we can manufacture that part with the Sinterstation Pro SLS® machine.

Typically when multiple components are combined into one, the resulting part will include draft angles and geometry that prohibit the component from being molded, or machined. The SLS® process does not have that limitation, and can produce whatever design the engineer determines is optimum.
