News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Since it was developed in the 1980s, selective laser sintering (also known as SLS) has been recognized for its ability to print polymer parts with high-quality finishes and good mechanical and isotropic properties. However, the technology’s associations have not all been so positive: SLS 3D printing is also known to be expensive—often prohibitively so.
The union of 3D printing and promotional products has always seems obvious to us, but the promotiona ...
