Selective Laser Sintering

By: Li Xiaogang

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an important branch of Laser Rapid Manufacturing which has been developing based on Laser Cladding Technology. With the development of laser manufacturing, SLS plays an important role in commercial realm. In some case vertical sintering/cladding using laser to repair big part in work site is inevitable. In this paper, an approach of laser vertical sintering with magnetic field has been explored. As is shown in the following pictures, the powder was paved on a substrate with magnetic field.
