We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Selective Laser Sintering",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Laser metal sintering produces tooling, inserts from
EOS Electro Optical Systems (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "USA manufacturer is to use direct metal laser sintering to produce tooling inserts, prototype parts, and end products directly in metal, to evaluate prototype products more
quickly".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release 3D rapid prototyping/manufacturing systems shown from
3D Systems: "Latest developments in 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing to be shown at Euromold 2007 include lase sintering of short production run plastics parts".
In October 2007, we covered the news from 3T RPD
- take a look at Rapid prototyping firm gains ISO 9001:2000
which says: "Rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing company using selective laser sintering and direct metal laser sintering has gained ISO 9001:2000 certification".
Take a look also at the news release from 3T RPD, UK rapid prototyping firm offers metals parts,
as well as Resin expands SL into rapid manufacturing from DSM Somos,
and Selective laser sintering for auto components from 3T RPD.
