= one of the 3D Printing or Additive Fabrication technologies
Description
From the Replicator blog [1]:
"the awesome union of 3D printing and Lasers. The process is similar to stereolithography replacing the UV light with a laser and a vat of liquid with a powdered base. The major benefit of SLS is the ability to produce parts in a variety of materials ranging from plastics to ceraminc to metals." (http://replicatorinc.com/blog/2009/02/4-types-of-3d-printing/)
The Sinterstation by 3D Systems is an example of this technology in practice.
