SLS 3D-Printing Service
Source high-performance parts for prototyping or end-use production effortlessly using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing. Get SLS parts in as fast as 1-day.
What is SLS 3D-Printing?
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powder-bed 3D printing process that uses a laser to fuse nylon powder into strong, functional parts without the need for supports. It produces durable, isotropic components with complex geometries that rival injection molding. For an engineer, SLS is valuable across the entire product lifecycle: from rapid prototyping and functional testing, to low-volume production and manufacturing aids, to spare parts and aftermarket support — all without the cost and lead time of tooling.

Manufacturing standards for SLS
We meticulously manufacture your custom parts adhering to stringent manufacturing standards, ensuring that every part and process complies with our high quality standards.
- We look to orient parts in the build chamber to maximize accuracy in critical fit and functional areas, and to ensure the best surface finish on cosmetic features.
- After printing, the parts undergo bead blasting and then air blasting to remove the excess powder from their surface.
