With SLS 3D printing, businesses can cut tooling costs and produce high-quality components faster than ever. This intake manifold from Dorman Products was printed on the Formlabs Fuse 1 30W. More info at formlabs.com | Formlabs

In SLS 3D printing, the unused powder acts as a support material during the printing process, eliminating the need for additional supports and enabling the production of highly intricate and complex designs. The unused powder can be recycled and prepared for the next print job, which reduces material waste. It is advisable to maintain a refresh rate that matches the packing density of the build chamber to achieve optimal waste reduction. The part showcased in this video is an orthosis designed w

Because the unfused powder supports the part during printing, there's no need for dedicated support structures. This makes it easy to design print-in-place assemblies—enabling unique, integrated parts that require no additional hardware and come out of the printer fully assembled. Our Nylon 12 sample part demonstrates many of these capabilities, featuring multiple moving printed-in-place components and fine details that highlight the minimum feature size achievable with the Formlabs Fuse 1 30W.
