3D Printing SLS

3D Printers use high grade and high-performance thermoplastics, photopolymers, and metals that are historically used in engineering- and manufacturing processes. With our printers we can produce complex high-requirement parts in a fast and efficient manner while providing flexibility, responsiveness, and control that cannot be obtained with historical manufacturing processes. All produced parts have a smooth surface finish. Systems 3D Offers a Variety of 3D Printing Technologies.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Sintering 3D printing is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique that utilises a laser as the motivating agent to bond or SINTER the powdered material together. Typically, this process is used with Nylon or Polyamide materials. This process differs from SLM due to the fact that it only sinters and does not melt or bond the particles together albeit the process produces sound and functional components.
