Because the unsintered powder acts as a natural support, SLS requires no support structures, so you can print complex internal channels, thin walls and dense part nesting that would be impossible or costly with other processes.\n<\/p><p class=\"oxy-text-88-1729 oxy-text oxy-text\">\n3DPTEK builds two specialised SLS material systems on the same proven hardware platform. The coated-sand system produces strong, dimensionally accurate molds and cores for direct metal pouring. The PSB wax system creates detailed sacrificial patterns for investment casting. Both share the same precision CO\u2082 laser optics, automated powder handling and industrial motion control, which is why a LaserCore can switch between sand and wax on one machine: one capital investment, two production lines.\n<\/p><p class=\"oxy-text-88-1730 oxy-text oxy-text\">\nIf your work is mostly patterns rather than molds, the wax route has its own deep-dive page covering pattern design, shell compatibility and burnout: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyafs.com\/3d-printers\/wax-3d-printers\/\">wax 3D printers for investment casting<\/a>.\n<\/p><div class=\"oxy-container-88-1755
