Selective Laser Sintering
Unleash the power of SLS to redefine what’s possible in creating intricate prototypes, functional parts, and unparalleled end-use components. Projet is a trusted partner in elevating the standards of precision and performance in every layer, utilizing a variety of advanced materials for tailored solutions.
Manufacturing with SLS 3D printing
SLS is a powder-based 3D printing technology. It makes use of a high powered laser that selectively scans a thin layer of powder and sinters the small powdered plastic particles together to form 3D object, layer by layer. Such technology is a great choice for functional prototypes as it’s robust and will not become brittle over time. In fact, the durability of parts created with SLS technology is on par with those produced through traditional manufacturing methods such as injection moulding.
Rapidly produce hundreds of functional nylon parts within days at an extremely favourable economy of scale. Our SLS 3D printing services open doors to additive manufacturing as a flexible, faster, and cost-effective alternative to traditional molding. This approach eliminates conventional manufacturing constraints such as expensive tool setup, large minimum order quantities (MOQ), and inflexibility for changes.
Primarily, SLS 3D printing is used for :
- Production of end-use components with durability comparable to traditional methods.
- Customized manufacturing tailored to specific needs.
- Economical scale production, rapidly delivering functional nylon parts at scale.

Our capabilities
Industrial SLS:
- Geared towards producing end-use parts.
- Provides durability comparable to traditional manufacturing.
- Excels in creating complex geometries and low-volume production.
- Ideal for creating functional prototypes.
- Well-suited for testing form, fit, and durability.
- Offers robust and non-brittle printed parts.
Additional post-processing can be done to improve part’s appearance, such as dyeing, vapor smoothing or tumbling. Vapor smoothing as a surface finish for 3D printed parts. Used for a variety of aesthetic purposes, it reduces surface roughness, leaving a smooth, glossy texture that’s easy to clean.
