 and Hydroxyapatite Biocomposite Surface Treatment Using Selective Laser Sintering&description=The selective laser sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping (RP) process which uses laser surface treatment to produce consolidation of powder materials. To obtain an efficient SLS, the optical parameters such as laser power, scanning velocity as well as the material properties must be optimized. In this paper, the SLS of biocomposite of Hydroxyapatite (HA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as secondary polymeric binder is investigated. Microstructural assessments of the samples were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To study the effect of laser power on the strength of specimens, pressure test were carried out. Depth of sintering layer and its correlation with laser power numerically is explored. In our case, the best sintering condition was achieved at 3 W and 1 mm/s.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/974.jpg)
