Talk:Selective laser sintering

message: this laser i believe uses a vacuum because there is no heat dissipation in a vacuum kinda like space ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.184.3.60 (talk • contribs) 00:46, July 31, 2007
: I don't think either of the two popular commercial systems, the 3D Systems selective laser sintering system or the EOS laser sintering systems, use a vacuum.  I think heat dissipation is desirable, to control the size of the spot where the laser hits.  When service bureaus are quoting a tolerance of +/- 0.007 inch/inch... --GargoyleMT 12:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of all existing SLS systems, none use vacuum chambers for their build. Some chambers are pressurised, and the use of inert gases are prevalent for saftey. 146.87.52.53 (talk) 00:13, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Part of the use of the technology is adding a listing of the materials.  I know of a source for a compiled list but not sure the best way to add it.  Without material, the technology is useless Hunterp46 (talk) 17:52, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Right now the article does list: "...SLS can produce parts from a relatively wide range of commercially available powder materials, including polymers (nylon, also glass-filled or with other fillers, and polystyrene), metals (steel, titanium, alloy mixtures, and composites) and green sand." If you would like to expounded upon that feel free. Wizard191 (talk) 18:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Not sure about how relevant it is now, but I do happen to know some companies that have EOS printer systems which utilize SLS as production method. Seems a bit contradictive if they were registered trademarks, but I'm not 100% sure about how this usually works. So I'm just stating it for what its worth 195.109.63.17 (talk) 14:42, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The picture at the top of the page could be any machine. There really isn't anything distinctive about it. Perhaps a picture of laser sintering being performed would be more relevant. 174.71.69.160 (talk) 01:51, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I believe these two sections should be separate and independent from each other; as they are, for example, in the DMLS page. I realize these might have originally been written together since the sections are not very developed so I plan to expand on polymer materials.
