Globalization necessitates the rapid launching of new technology in to the market to avoid duplication. Most effective technology to implement this is rapid manufacturing or additive manufacturing, where the parts for produced directly from the CAD data. After the conception of the design, CAD model is created in any of the solid model software and converted into a special file named .stl format. Among various methods of rapid manufacturing, selective laser sintering plays a very vital role in production of near net shaped component. Quality of the rapid prototyping products are decided by the various factors such as process type, type of infiltration, layer thickness, orientation, laser speed etc.,. This paper presents the infiltration effect of various materials produced by selective laser sintered stainless steel green parts. Study of the infiltration effect of copper tin alloy , Brass, and Bronze on stainless steel green part was done. Hardness, dimensional study and surface roughness of different infiltrates were also compared. Index Term-Selective laser sintering, Infiltration materials, hardness, dimensional study
