Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) crafts durable and complex parts by fusing powder materials layer by layer with a laser, without molds.
Selective laser sintering, also known as SLS printing, is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that enables the production of precise and long-lasting parts suitable for direct use in end-use applications, low-volume production, or rapid prototyping. SLS printing is a cost-effective solution for industrial 3D printing services as it allows for the bulk production of parts without the need for support structures. The primary materials used in SLS printing are nylon, which can be infused with different fillers to enhance their properties, ranging from rigid carbon-filled to flame retardant options.
| Description | Tolerance Notes |
|---|---|
| General Tolerances | SLS Nylon 12 and variants are ± 0.015”, or ± 0.002″ per inch, whichever is greater. *SLS Nylon 11 and variants are ± 0.020”, or ± 0.003″ per inch, whichever is greater. **Results are typical. |
| Build Area | Build area up to 13″ x 13″ x 20″. Glass filled can extend up to 26″ x 15″ x 23″. |
| Minimum Feature Size | 0.030″ or greater. |
| Standard Layer Thickness | 0.0045″ |

Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.
Black oxide coating is a popular choice for enhancing the surface of steel and iron. This finish not only provides a visually appealing dark surface, but also offers excellent wear resistance. Additionally, the black oxide coating can enhance the lubricity and durability of the treated surface, making it an ideal option for various applications.
Passivation is a common process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing iron impurities and forming a protective oxide layer. This helps to improve the durability and performance of stainless steel in tough environments.
Paint serves as a surface coating that is effective on a wide range of materials, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection against corrosion. It is available in numerous color options, making it suitable for application on metals, polymers, wood, and various other substrates.
Enhance the shine and smoothness of your materials by utilizing polishing techniques. By using abrasives such as buffing wheels or polishing chemicals, you can elevate the reflectivity and overall aesthetic of metals, resulting in a stunning mirror-like finish.
Alodine coating, also known as chromate conversion coating, is widely used on metals like aluminum. It serves as an excellent primer for paint or powder coatings, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. By creating a thin layer of protection, it enhances the bond between subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting results.
