Selective laser sintering is a powder-based 3D printing technology that uses a laser to fuse material layers into a final part. After the laser traces a cross-section of the CAD design(s) onto a material layer, the build platform lowers and another layer is fused on top. The build platform continues to lower until every layer is built and the part is complete.

SLS uses production-grade nylon materials, resulting in durable, functional parts that last. In fact, SLS printed parts rival other parts produced using traditional manufacturing methods. The robustness of SLS makes this technology great for:
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printers
3D Systems’ SLS is an integrated solution of hardware, software, and fine-tuned nylon and composite materials that combine to deliver robust, high-resolution parts at high throughput.
The surface finish, resolution, repeatability, and accuracy of SLS enable increased manufacturing agility with a low total cost of operations.
Our SLS printers use 3D Sprint® all-in-one software for plastic printing to prepare and optimize CAD data, and manage the SLS printing process. Tools for high-performance—such as high-density automatic 3D nesting, quality checks for pre-build verification, repair options, print queue tool for efficient build planning, cage structure generator for small parts enclosure, and more features—bring increased productivity and quality to your SLS production process without needing additional third-party software.
From medium to large frame, we offer SLS printing solutions with different build volumes, levels of automation, and a large variety of materials.
Strong polyamide 12 thermoplastics that can replace traditionally injection molded articles; includes food-grade, medical-grade, and flame-retardant capable options.
Engineered for greater end-use part performance, these materials are developed with glass, aluminum, or mineral fiber fillers to offer a range of advanced properties in terms of stiffness, temperature resistance, strength, and surface finish.
Impact-resistant polyamide 11 thermoplastics that offer molded-part performance in harsh environments; ideal for snap-fits and living hinges with the flexibility to bounce back to the original shape.
Rubber-like flexibility for prototypes and production parts with excellent memory, tear, and abrasion resistance.
Great for sacrificial patterns for prototype metal castings and low to medium production runs without tooling.
SLS technology produces tough and durable parts that excel in high-performance prototyping and end-use applications. 3D Systems’ DuraForm® SLS materials have been optimized, validated, and tested to ensure quality, with uniform 3D mechanical properties.
Large SLS build capacities paired with fast build times, high-density nesting, and no support structures help you maximize every print for more parts, sooner.
Side-by-side comparison testing shows 3D Systems SLS printers provide best-in-class part quality.* Get superior accuracy, part resolution, edge definition, and surface finish with 3D Systems’ SLS solutions.
