>SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING - SLS, Selective Laser Sintering prices are generally lower than SLA modelling due to the reduced post finishing required from this powder based system. The self supporting powder system also has advantage of a multiple build option where llarge numbers of the same component can be build, drastically reducing the individual part cost.

>METAL SINTERING - The DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) additive manufacturing produces metal components direct from a CAD model using a powerful 200w Yb-fibre laser on the New EOSINT M 270 (250w CO2 laser on the EOSINT M 250 Xtended) and layers of fine metal powder. A CAD model is sliced into 0.020mm layer and effectively reconstructed layer by layer with the laser fusing or melting each layer to the one below.
