LS (Laser Sintering) and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) are two terms that describe the same process. Both processes are additive manufacturing process that use powder material to build 3D Prototypes. However the term DMLS has become popular over the last year to describe the process of Sintering Metals. In the Past we, in the [...]

Generating STL files is usually a fairly simple process. Virtually all modern CAD systems now include STL output as a standard feature and, for the most part, the files created are suitable for rapid prototyping. But the extra step of converting CAD models into STL format still presents a barrier to rapid prototyping novices or [...]

 

The .STL file format has become the Rapid Prototyping industry’s defacto standard data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machie just the amount of data in the form of meshenes. This format approximates the surfaces of a solid model with triangles and lacks engineering data! The STL format was designed [...]
