@FearlessFly First I've seen the term "selective laser melting." I wonder what the exact difference is between melting and sintering.
Anyway, I recently found out about SLS printing with powdered materials, including metal. It sounds super cool, and I hope to someday take a crack at it, at least with plastic. I just have to find out or figure out how to turn my plastic recyclables into powder.
