Abstract
SIS is a new method of building 3D objects using powder sintering. The method is capable of making plastic parts without the use of laser. An Alpha machine has been constructed and preliminary studies have been carried out to prove the concept and to explore the process variables and their impacts. Various polymers including polystyrene and polyester have been successfully used in our experiments. The approach should be feasible for a variety of polymers.
