SLS uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered material, typically nylon, layer by layer. Unlike other technologies, SLS does not require support structures, allowing greater design freedom and enabling the production of highly complex geometries.
Functional prototypes: Ideal for testing parts under real-world conditions.
Aerospace and automotive components: Lightweight, durable parts for high-stress environments.
Medical devices: Functional parts such as prosthetics and surgical guides.
End-use parts: Small-batch production of durable and functional components.
Produces strong, durable, and impact-resistant parts.
Excellent for interlocking components and complex, hollow geometries.
Cost-effective for medium to large production runs.
Does not require support structures, saving material and time.
Nylon 12 (PA 12): A versatile material offering high durability and resistance to chemicals.
Nylon 11 (PA 11): Provides greater flexibility and impact resistance for functional parts.
Glass-Filled Nylon: Ideal for parts requiring additional rigidity and thermal stability.
Aluminum-Filled Nylon: Used for lightweight, metal-like components.
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): Perfect for flexible parts such as seals, gaskets, and wearables.
