‘Tis the Season for Low-cost SLS Benchtop 3D Printers 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

It has been in the making for almost four years, since the original patent expired in February 2014, now the time seems to have arrived for low-cost SLS systems to take over the benchtop and the prosumer 3D printing market. Four years seems to be the necessary time period to bring a new technology to market: it took about this long to HP for its multijet fusion and for low cost filament extrusion (FFF) to go from a few scattered maker’s projects to a young industry.
