Applications

From prototype to production.

Use industrial SLS for functional validation, production aids, low-volume manufacturing and on-demand parts.

No dedicated supportsProduction PA12Tool-free geometryRepeatable builds
Four ways to use SLS

Make the parts your work requires.

Choose SLS when geometry, changing quantities or lead time make conventional production difficult.

Functional SLS prototypes
01 / VALIDATE

Functional Prototyping

Test fit, assembly and performance with production-relevant PA12 parts.

Low-volume SLS production build containing 1476 parts
02 / PRODUCE

Low-Volume Production

Produce repeat functional parts without tooling for every geometry.

SLS manufacturing aid and fixture
03 / SUPPORT

Manufacturing Aids

Build fixtures, guides and customized tools around your workflow.

SLS industrial component shown in its assembled state
04 / REPLACE

On-Demand Parts

Produce specialized components when conventional supply is slow or uneconomical.

A visible production path

Print. Clean. Finish.

Laser scanning during SLS printing
01 / PRINT

Build the geometry.
