Unlock high-performance parts with our 3D SLS printing service. Using advanced laser sintering, we create durable, complex geometries without support structures, ideal for functional prototypes and end-use applications.
The SLS process starts with a digital 3D model sliced into layers. A laser selectively sinters thin layers of powder (typically nylon or other polymers) on the build platform. This process repeats until the object is built. After printing, the unsintered powder is removed, and the part may undergo post-processing.
SLS primarily uses polymer powders, each providingdifferent mechanical properties:
Nylon 12: Strong, flexible, and durable, making it suitable for functional parts and prototypes
Nylon 11: Offers higher ductility and impact resistance than Nylon 12.
Glass-Filled Nylon: Enhanced stiffness and thermal stability for high-strength applications.
Alumide: A blend of nylon and aluminum powder, offering a metallic appearance and increased rigidity.
SLS technology excels in creating arts with complex geometries and robust properties:
Functional Prototypes: Produce prototypes that can withstand mechanical testing and stress.
End-Use Parts: Manufacture low-volume, high- performance parts for various applications.
Medical Devices: Create custom implants, braces, and prosthetics.
Aerospace and Automotive: develop lightweight, strong components for aircraft and vehicles.
No Support Structures: The powder itself supports the part during printing, allowing for complex geometries and internal features.
High Strength: Parts are robust and can handle mechanical loads and stress.
Versatile Capable of producing functional prototypes, small production runs, and complex assemblies.
Surface Finish Parts may have a slightly rough surface and require post-processing for a smoother finish.
Powder Handling: The powder can be messy and requires proper handling and recycling processes.
Post-Processing: Parts may need cleaning and
additional finishing to achieve the desired appearance and performance.
3D Printing SLS is a powerful technology for creating durable, high-performance parts with intricate designs. Its ability to produce strong
and complex parts without support structures makes it a valuable tool in prototyping and production for demanding applications.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a laser to fuse powdered material into solid structures. It is great for producing strong, functional parts with complex geometries.
Common materials include nylon, glass-filled nylon, and other composite powders.
SLS offers high strength and durability, the ability to create complex geometries without support structures, and a wide range of material options.
SLS is ideal for creating functional prototypes, end-use parts, and complex geometries.
The maximum size depends on the specific 3D printer used, but typical dimensions range from 200mm x 200mm x 300mm to larger sizes.
