Question

sls: common applications (use the information below to answer the question. materials used: with sls, you can use multiple materials, which are suitable for functional applications, such as prototypes and actual production use. the materials are very strong, with high dimensional accuracy. cost effectiveness: you can make from 1 to multiple production runs, which makes it very cost effective. complex geometries: being able to create a functional product with hollow sections that don’t require a support structure is one of the main uses for sls technology. due to the powder bed being the support, parts can be formed with hollow sections, such as a pipe. the ability to do complex geometry along with no need for support material makes it a perfect application for complex shaping processes. which of the following is an example of an application that would be well-suited for the sls process? options: engine parts, a mirror, furniture, a plate)

Explanation:

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) is good for functional, complex geometries, and cost - effective production. Engine parts often need complex geometries, high strength, and can be produced cost - effectively with SLS. A mirror needs high - precision optical surfaces (not SLS's strength), furniture is usually large - scale and simple (not ideal for SLS), and a plane is too large and has diverse manufacturing needs not suited for SLS. So engine parts are well - suited.

Answer:

engine parts
