SLS 3D Printing

SLS fuses nylon powder with a laser in a heated bed, with the surrounding powder acting as support. That means no support marks, free nesting of many parts in one build, and mechanical properties close to injection-moulded nylon, which makes it the workhorse for functional prototypes and end-use parts under a few thousand units.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Can SLS parts replace machined or moulded parts?

For brackets, ducts, housings and fixtures, SLS PA12 often replaces machined aluminium at a fraction of the cost. Where precision interfaces are needed we ream or tap the printed part, a hybrid approach that gets the best of both.

How is pricing calculated?

By the bounding-box volume of the part plus machine time, so nesting many small parts in one build reduces unit cost significantly. Send the whole assembly and we will optimise the packing.

Are the parts watertight?

Standard PA12 is porous to air and water vapour. Vapour smoothing or an impregnation step seals the surface when a pressure-tight part is needed.
