Now Offering Laser Sintering (LS)

LS Nylon prototypes are produced much like a SLA prototype. Instead of hardening liquid resin as with a SLA, the laser melts a nylon powder to form each successive layer. Each layer is melted to the layer below to create a homogeneous plastic part, producing a very strong, durable part. 

Advantages of Laser Sintering:

  • Biocompatible material (USP Class VI certified, ISO 10993-1 compliant)
  • More durable material than most RP materials – 92% the density of injection molded nylon
  • High HDT – 350°F, resists most chemicals
  • Mechanical properties stable over time
  • Holds water!
