If this SLS 3D printing method can be used in the metal processing field, the outputs will be more accurate and convenient.  Generally, CNC metal printing method has been used for metal processing field.  IT the industry use SLS 3Dprinting method, it will reduce the amount of materials and products’ price.

Meantime, the SLS 3D printing method has been used in the industries such as high priced interior products or customized produces because of the printer’s price.  Industries expecting that the speed of 3Dprinting technologies will be quicken after its patent expiration if stake holding companies jump into this 3D printing technologies.
