3d printing SLS: selective laser sintering

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology has one of the largest production potentials. Support structures are not required in the SLS process, which is a big advantage of this technology. The SLS system we use has a unique solution: open parameters, thanks to which we can optimize the technological parameters, adapting them to your application.

What are the benefits of SLS?

Druk 3D - technologie SLS

Benefit #1

Allows the use of different types of powders to produce items with a variety of mechanical properties.

Druk 3D technologie SLS

Benefit #2

Does not require additional support for printing, making it possible to print complex geometry without having to remove additional support structures.

Druk 3D technologie SLS

Benefit #3

It produces prints with high precision and also good surface quality, making it ideal for the production of complex parts.

Druk 3D technologie

Benefit #4

It enables rapid prototyping of sustainable materials, which is particularly beneficial in the design and prototyping process.

Materials

In SLS technology, we use advanced, engineering thermoplastic materials, characterized by excellent mechanical properties. Professional SLS systems with all technological facilities allow obtaining high-quality 3D printed parts in line with the customer’s requirements.
PA12
Other names: PA2200 (trade name), Polyamide 12, Nylon 12, the most versatile material in our offer, provides high strength and stiffness. The material can be further treated, e.g. varnished, metallised, sanded, glued, etc. More information in Post-Processing.
  • Durable engineering material
  • Biocompatibility according to EN ISO 10993-1 & USP/level VI/121 °C
  • Food Safe certificate in accordance with European Directive 2002/72/EC (excluding alcoholic products)
  • High chemical resistance
  • The possibility of using advanced post-processing - more information in postprocessing

Non-Flammable PA 12

Other names: PA2241FR (trade name). PA12 polyamide-based material with additives ensuring non-flammability of the material. The material is most commonly used in aviation and railways and wherever non-flammability is required.

  • Fire resistance class: CS 25 / JAR25 / FAR 25 § 25-853 (a) App. F Part I, ABD 0031
  • Good mechanical properties
  • High chemical resistance

PA 11
Other names: PA1100 (trade name) – Polyamide 11, a material more flexible than PA12 with greater elongation at break, good impact strength. Ideal for the manufacture of e.g. joints, living hinges, "working" structures. The material is widely used in the medical industry, especially in the orthopaedic and prosthetic market (O&P). Produced from castor oil, PA11 can also be considered an eco-friendly material.
  • High impact strength
  • Eco
  • More flexibility compared to PA12
  • Cytotoxicity certificate according to DIN EN ISO 10993-5

PrimeCast
Other names: PrimeCast 1010 (trade name), polystyrene. Polystyrene-based material. Used to produce complex models lost for metal alloy foundry, especially in rapid casting processes based on investment casting. The properties of the material allow almost 100% of the model to be removed from the mold during the casting process (no ash residue). The material is perfectly suitable for use in the manufacture of short and medium series in the foundry. Thanks to this material, it is possible to produce the finished metal alloy casting within 5 working days.
  • Low density
  • Low melting point
  • Relatively easy process of removing the lost model from the foundry mold
  • Reduced amount of ashes during burn out process

SLS Design Principles

With SLS, we recommend that you follow these rules:

Zasady druk 3D

Minimum hole diameter 1.5 mm

Zasady druk 3D

Minimum wall thickness 1 mm

Zasady druk 3D

The minimum clearance for moving parts is 0.2 mm

Zasady druk 3D

Positioning pins should be at least 2 mm thick/medium

Zasady druk 3D

The dimensional tolerance in SLS is +/- 0.3 % of the dimension measured at the lower limit +/- 0.3 mm

Zasady druk 3D

In SLS it is not recommended to use massive cross-sections (above 4 mm). Of course, we produce massive walls (above 4 mm), but we take an individual approach to this

Zasady druk 3D

In confined spaces (if unseasted powder needs to be removed), use technical holes to evacuate the powder
