Every additive manufacturing  material has its own  strengths and weaknesses. 

To make life easier, I've worked with the AME-3D production team to summarise the most important  characteristics of the different materials used across our AM technologies. 

Selective Laser Sintering is a highly popular 3D printing process, as it  is a very versatile process, which can produce robust end-use parts, as well as engineering prototypes. 

What better way to start our new "Material Breakdown" series  than with the most popular material used in SLS 3D printing.
