SLS made component data.

SLS made component data.

SLS made component data.

(OP)
I am looking for some data on the mechanical properties of parts made using selective laser sintering.
Does anyone know of any books on the subject or other sources?

Thanks in advance.

RE: SLS made component data.

You might want ot look on the web for Steriolithography companies, then view each of their materials physical properties, to match to your needs.

RE: SLS made component data.

(OP)
Yeah, I have done quite a bit of that. I'm sure if I look at details of the companies that make the material powders for SLS machines they'll be of some help, and I have found a load of journal articles on the subject, but I wondered if there was a text book which looked at the whole area in some depth.
