Abstract

This paper gives us an overview about the Selective Laser Sintering process. The raw materails that are used in Selective Laser Sintering process. The conventional parameters that are set by the machine  manufacturer for using the polyamide raw materials. How large inventories of waste powder are generated due to supplier suggested way of using raw material. How the quality of powder and product is effected with time and recycling and how to use this re-cycled powder effectively to reduce these inventories.

Keywords
