SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS)
SLS is the go-to solution when strength, precision, and production-ready quality are non-negotiable
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powerful industrial 3D printing technology that creates strong, durable, and highly functional parts without the need for supports. It's ideal for engineering prototypes, mechanical components, and end-use production.
How it works
SLS works by using a high-powered laser to fuse particles of polymer powder (typically nylon) layer by layer. Since the unused powder supports the part during printing, even complex geometries can be produced without additional structures.
Key Benefits
- Strong, Functional Parts – Tough, impact-resistant components
- No Support Structures Needed – Greater design freedom and fewer post-processing steps
- Accurate & Reliable – Excellent mechanical performance and dimensional stability
- Ideal for Prototyping & Production – Great for small batches or bridge manufacturing
- Consistent Results – Uniform surface finish and repeatable accuracy
Applications
- Engineering prototypes
- Mechanical components
- End-use production
