Glass beads powders of different particle size were spread with a procedure similar to the one adopted for Selective laser sintering in order to verify the effect of the powder compression produced with a roller spreading tool. The effect is verified in terms of indentation strength and of mechanical strength of the sintered specimens. Results indicate a significant effect of powder compression on the SLS process with fine powders.
