Top 10 SLS 3D Printing Services You Should Know About
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a popular industrial 3D printing technology for building prototypes and end-use parts. It’s among our specialties here at HLH Prototypes, and we often recommend it for clients who want to craft parts or products with complex geometries without expensive tooling. Our SLS 3D printing service has helped countless manufacturers test, verify, iterate, and produce functional prototypes or end-use components quickly and cost-effectively. We are proudly among the top 10 service providers for this additive manufacturing technology in China.
In this blog, we guide you through the selective laser sintering process and how our SLS 3D printing services can benefit your project.
How does SLS 3D printing work?
At HLH Prototypes, we use the most advanced SLS 3D printers to build parts one layer at a time from powdered nylon (PA 12). We can also use glass-filled PA 12 if your parts need to be stiff and capable of withstanding wear, abrasion, and high thermal conditions. Since it uses powdered material, selective laser sintering can form parts with complex shapes without supports.
Applications
Top SLS 3D printing specialists like our team can tailor services to a wide range of applications, such as prototypes and end-use parts. We can customize the process to make electronic housings, hardware, architectural models, and sculptures. It’s also possible to make medical devices and fixtures out quickly and cost-effectively with our SLS 3D printing service.
Design your part for SLS 3D printing
HLH Prototypes offers expert SLS 3D printing services that can be tailored to enhance the functionality, surface finish, and overall quality of your part. We can start with a free project evaluation.
Do note that because SLS 3D printing uses powdered nylon, it produces parts with a rougher surface finish and lower resolution compared to some other processes. Be sure to consider these factors if you’re designing parts with fine features or details.
