00:00 Intro. We'll go over what you'll learn in this video.

0:39 SLS printing. We'll explain in which category SLS 3D printing belongs.

1:07 How an SLS printer works. In this section, we'll explain in detail how an industrial SLS 3D printer works.

2:25 The difference and similarities between SLS and MJF. You'll learn about the main difference between these two similar technologies: the heat source. Also explained are the main similarities between SLS 3D printing and MJF.

3:40 The main advantages and limitations of SLS. In this part of the video, we'll explain when to use FDM 3D printing and when not to use this technology for your project.

5:20 Costs of SLS printing. We'll provide some of the reasons why SLS is relatively expensive.

5:57 Designing for SLS printing. Here, we'll discuss some of the problems encountered when designing or printing using SLS technology. On top of that, we'll provide some tips to avoid these problems.

7:31 Economies of scale. In this section, you'll learn why SLS 3D printing is could be good for lower/bulk(500-1000 parts) production runs.

8:30 Main applications of SLS parts. In this final part, we'll talk about some of the main applications SLS parts are used in.

9:02 Recap of the video.
