Functional Mechanical Parts
For decades, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing has been a leading technology in digital manufacturing, widely recognized for producing robust parts. SLS 3D printing rivals, injection molding in terms of precision and strength, especially with materials like Nylon PA 12. SLS 3D printing excels in creating parts with high precision and durability. It uses versatile materials, making it ideal for a variety of applications, including architectural structures, housings, and product enclosures as well as jigs and fixtures. This technology supports a wide range of materials, offering best-in-class working properties. Depending on the design geometry, parts can be either flexible or rigid, meeting diverse project needs.
When designing for SLS 3D printing, wall thickness is crucial. Optimal wall thickness for functional parts typically ranges from 1/32” (0.7mm) for PA 12 up to 55/6” (2.0mm) for carbon-filled polyamide with support structures, walls can be as thin as 1/32” (0.6mm).
SLS 3D printing is a well-established additive manufacturing method used for both small marketing batch production and pilot prototyping quantities. Its reliability and precision make it an excellent choice for testing and validating new designs before full production.

SLS 3D
Printing Technology
SLS 3d printing technology is part of the additive manufacturing group. Printing parts directly from digital 3D CAD data, and building parts up one layer at a time. This technology provides the utmost efficiencies and results with very complex geometries that cannot be made with traditional manufacturing technologies. SLS printing thermoplastic materials for both functional prototyping and end-use production run, does nit require the use of additional supports to hold a part together while it is being printed. Those supports are often necessary with other 3D printing processes such as stereolithography (SLA) and fused deposition modeling (FDM), making these processes more time-consuming than SLS printing technology.
