Selective laser sintering (SLS)

SLS 3D Printing Service – High-Performance Nylon Parts

Overview of SLS 3D Printing (Formlabs SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an advanced 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered materials layer by layer. SLS printer enables cost-effective, industrial-grade nylon part production with excellent strength and durability. SLS printing does not require support structures, allowing for complex geometries and high-volume batch production.

Advantages of SLS 3D Printing

  • High Strength & Durability: Produces end-use parts with excellent mechanical properties.
  • No Support Structures: Enables complex designs with minimal post-processing.
  • Efficient Material Use: Unfused powder can be reused, reducing waste.
  • High-Volume Production: Ideal for rapid manufacturing of functional parts.
