Low cost per part, high productivity, and established materials make SLS 3D printing ideal for a range of applications from rapid prototyping to low volume or custom manufacturing of end-use parts.

SLS 3D printers use a high-powered laser to fuse small particles of thermoplastic powder together to create solid parts. Since the unfused powder supports the parts during printing, there’s no need for dedicated support structures. This makes SLS ideal for complex geometries including interior features, undercuts, thin walls, and negative features. The self-supporting nature of the technology also allows operators to tightly arrange multiple parts within a single build to optimize material usage and maximize throughput.

SLS 3D printing materials offer excellent mechanical characteristics that resemble traditional injection-molded parts. The most common SLS 3D printing material is nylon, a popular engineering thermoplastic that is lightweight, strong, and flexible, as well as stable against impact, chemicals, heat, UV light, water, and dirt. Beyond nylon, SLS printers can also create flexible TPU parts with unmatched design freedom and ease.

SLS 3D printing accelerates production and innovation across a wide range of applications in the engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare industries.

Selective laser sintering has been one of the most popular 3D printing technologies for professionals for decades, but the complexity, requirements, and high price of SLS printers have limited its use to service bureaus and large enterprises. Recent advances in machinery, materials, and software have made SLS printing accessible to a wider range of businesses. Benchtop industrial SLS 3D printers, like the Fuse Series from Formlabs, offer high quality, a compact footprint, and streamlined workflow at a fraction of the cost of traditional industrial SLS systems.
