SLS layer height is fixed at 0.10 mm — unlike FDM or SLA, there is no quality preset. Every SLS part is printed at the same consistent resolution. The Precise / Normal / Fast slider in our calculator does not apply to SLS orders.
WHAT MAKES IT
DIFFERENT
Unsintered powder acts as support — enabling overhangs, undercuts, and internal channels that are impossible in FDM or SLA without complex post-processing.
Print assembled mechanisms — chains, hinges, ball joints — in a single build. Parts can move straight off the printer.
Properly designed SLS parts in PA-12 are inherently watertight. Ideal for fluid channels, pressure-tested components, and waterproof enclosures.
Nest dozens of small parts in a single 650×350×550 mm build. SLS is economical at volume — unit cost drops significantly with quantity.
4 NYLON
MATERIALS
The versatile default — tough, near-isotropic nylon for enclosures, ducts, jigs and low-volume production.
Glass-bead-reinforced PA12 — higher stiffness, hardness and heat resistance for load-bearing brackets and jigs.
Carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon — exceptional stiffness-to-weight for drone, robotics and aerospace parts.
Flexible elastomer (Shore ~88A) for gaskets, grips, living hinges and shock-absorbing lattices — no supports.
Bio-based nylon 11 — highly ductile and impact-resistant for snap-fits, clips, sports and prosthetics.
Chemical- and fatigue-resistant polypropylene — watertight, weldable and the lightest SLS parts.
WHAT WE PRINT
Internal channels, lattice structures, undercuts that can't be molded or machined.
Chains, hinges, snap-fit assemblies printed pre-assembled in one build.
Manifolds, coolant channels, impellers, watertight nozzles.
Flexible TPU lattice insoles, protective gear, custom orthotic devices.
Cost-effective batches of 5–200 parts without tooling investment.
Carbon-filled nylon brackets and frames with metal-beating strength-to-weight.
SLS is economical at scale — we can nest multiple parts in a single build, reducing machine cost per unit. Orders of 5+ identical parts receive automatic bulk discounts. For production runs of 50+ parts, contact us for a custom quote.
