Why Industries Use SLS

Produce Functional Polymer Parts Without Dedicated Support Structures

TPM3D CF200 SLS 3D printer printing nylon parts
Selective Laser Sintering uses a laser to fuse polymer powder layer by layer. Because surrounding powder supports the part during the build, SLS can manufacture complex geometries and nested batches without adding conventional support structures. TPM3D’s portfolio spans compact professional systems, balanced industrial platforms, large-format dual-laser production systems and high-temperature equipment for advanced polymers.
  • Produce functional polymer prototypes and end-use components.
  • Nest multiple parts throughout the powder bed for batch production.
  • Process materials such as PA12, PA11, TPU and engineering polymers where system compatibility permits.
  • Use dedicated high-temperature SLS platforms for polymers such as PEEK and PEKK.
