SLS Additive Manufacturing: Is It Right for You? A 3D Technology Comparison

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) printers like the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30w use a high-powered laser to selectively ‘sinter’ powder in layers to create 3D objects. While FFF melts thermoplastic and extrudes it through a nozzle onto a build plate, and SLA uses a laser to cure liquid resin onto the build platform, SLS

Carbon Fibre 3D Printing with Continuous Fibre Reinforcement – CFR

Continuous Fibre Reinforcement (CFR) can revolutionise engineering workflows by enabling the substitution of machined components with carbon fibre 3D printing.  CFR offers advantages over traditional FFF, such as increased stiffness, impact resistance, improved heat resistance, and extended durability. CFR harnesses FFF technology but introduces a secondary nozzle that feeds in
