A brief overview of currently available methods applied in laser synthesis of 3D parts is presented, which range from stereolithography making use of liquid photopolymers to selective laser sintering of metal powders aimed at production of the parts of complex topology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
