A related process is called selective laser sintering (SLS); here the nozzle head and liquid binder are replaced by precisely guided lasers that heat the powder so that it sinters, or partially melts and fuses, in the desired areas. Typically, SLS works with either plastic powder or a combined metal-binder…

Selective laser sintering (SLS) uses lasers to heat and fuse powder particles, while direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) employs a high-power laser to create solid metal parts without binder material.
