			SLS is short for Selective Laser Sintering. Should this page be renamed?

	From what I read this is how they make many high end aerospace parts (like compressors for turbines etc). Granted they use titanium powders, and electron beams, but the tech is still relitevely the same, and definetly has a place.

			Also there is supposedly a difference between SLS or selective laser melting

			https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_sintering

			, and selective laser melting

			https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_melting

			Sintering doesn't completely melt the powder, and thus requires more post processing. This does allow it to use smaller lasers/electron beams though.

			Also see this for the electron beam technologies:

Eric: Added what I have heard on this topic.

Added what I have heard on this topic.

New page

From what I read this is how they make many high end aerospace parts (like compressors for turbines etc). Granted they use titanium powders, and electron beams, but the tech is still relitevely the same, and definetly has a place.

One concern is powder waste, but most can be recycled, at least in part.

Anyways this is just what I have heard, I may post some links etc. somewhere later.
