3D Printing SLS
Advanced technology of selective laser sintering (SLS) of polymer powders, durable nylon-based materials, and unmatched surface quality.
Innovations in 3D Printing
Increased Design Freedom
Models printed with the SLS method are characterized by high mechanical strength and heat resistance, which makes them suitable for functional applications, not just prototypes. Since the process does not require supports, it is possible to create highly complex geometries, including parts with moving components, internal channels, or thin walls that would be difficult to achieve with other technologies.
Attention to Detail
Top Quality for All Applications
Thanks to very good layer cohesion, SLS models have almost isotropic mechanical properties - they are equally strong in all directions.
These parts are also lightweight - since they can be designed with thin walls and hollow interiors without compromising integrity. Moreover, many details can be printed simultaneously within one cycle, placing them throughout the powder volume, which makes SLS highly efficient for small-batch production.
Materials
Available SLS Printing Materials
Nylon PA 12
A basic and economical polyamide for rapid printing, combining chemical resistance with satisfactory strength. Available in graphite grey and white, with the option of dyeing.
Nylon PA 12 Tough
A stronger and more durable version of PA 12, intended for parts requiring higher reliability and durability.
Nylon PA 11 CF
A high-strength material reinforced with carbon fiber, characterized by high stiffness and dimensional stability.
TPU
An elastomer with high elasticity and very high abrasion resistance, used in the production of parts intended for vibration damping and sealing.
3D printing FDM
Rapid prototyping and production of functional parts from a wide range of materials.
Innovations in 3D Printing
Accelerated Production and Application Versatility
The FDM technology enables fast production of prototypes and end-use parts, often within a few hours, significantly shortening the time required for design and testing of new solutions.
The variety of materials allows not only for selecting proper mechanical and thermal properties but also aesthetic features such as color, gloss, or transparency.
