What Wikipedia says

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing (AM)(3D printing) technique that uses a laser as the power and heat source to sinter powdered material (typically nylon or polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure.
