1 Technology Micro Laser Sintering - a process overview Micro Laser Sintering is a powder bed based additive manufacturing technology, often called Selective Laser Sintering or Selective Laser Melting. Micro Laser Sintering is an industrial technology, providing micro metal parts to several industries. Figure 1: Scheme of the process steps for the manufacturing of laser sintered parts 1: CAF model of the part 6: Process repetition till completion of part 3: Laser melts powder Micro Laser Sintering for finer details A 3D-CAD model of the target geometry contains all details of the final part. This CAD model is split into several cross sections, called layers. During manufacturing, a thin layer of powder is applied to a build platform. The powder is selectively fused by a laser beam according to each cross section. After that the building platform is lowered, the procedure of powder coating, fusing and platform lowering is repeated layer by layer, until the part completed.
