Technology
What Is Selective Laser Sintering?
Selective laser sintering (SLS) creates parts by fusing raw material powder with precision lasers, layer by layer. Our selective laser sintering service delivers strength and detail that rivals injection molding, making it ideal for SLS prototypes and end-use parts without the traditional cost of tooling.
No Support Structures
Unfused powder supports parts during printing, enabling complex geometries impossible with other methods.
Production Strength
Parts exhibit near-isotropic mechanical properties with tensile strength exceeding 48 MPa.
Complex Geometries
Internal channels, lattices, and interlocking assemblies. All printed in a single build.
Rapid Turnaround
From file upload to finished part in as little as 48 hours with our optimized workflow.
Cost Effective
No tooling costs. Efficient powder recycling. Competitive pricing at any volume.
Precision Control
0.1mm layer resolution with ±0.3% dimensional accuracy for critical applications.
Process
How The Laser Sintering Process Works
A high-powered laser selectively sinters powdered nylon to create your parts. We build your prints layer by layer delivering exceptional precision and mechanical properties.
Powder Deposition
A thin layer of nylon powder is spread across the build platform.
Laser Sintering
The laser traces the cross-section, fusing particles together at precise temperatures.
Layer Repetition
The platform lowers and the process repeats.
Post Processing
Parts are extracted, cleaned, and finished to your specifications.

Materials
Our Material: Nylon PA12
Our sintering services use only Nylon PA12-the leading SLS material and industry standard for laser sintered nylon parts, functional prototypes, and selective laser sintering products.
We Specialize In Nylon PA12
The only material we use, because it's the best for 95% of applications.
