SLS Nylon 3D Printing Service

Product Summary

Our SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) service produces durable nylon parts from PA12, PA11, and glass-filled nylon. With tolerances of ±0.2%~0.3%/mm (min ±0.1mm) and excellent mechanical properties, SLS is ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts in demanding applications. Benefit from our 1000+ industrial 3D printers and fast turnaround starting from 1 day.

Key Selling Points

• Material Versatility: Choose from PA12, PA11, or glass-filled nylon for specific strength and flexibility needs.
• High Durability: Nylon parts resist impact, wear, and chemicals, suitable for functional testing.
• Precision Tolerances: ±0.2%~0.3%/mm (min ±0.1mm) ensures accurate fit.
• Complex Geometries: SLS produces complex internal channels and undercuts without support structures.
• Fast Lead Times: Expedited production available from 1 day.

Technical Specifications

Models and Options

We offer different nylon grades depending on application: PA12 for balanced properties, PA11 for increased ductility, and glass-filled nylon for higher stiffness. Post-processing options include dyeing, bead blasting, and sealing.

Materials and Structure

Our materials are selected for performance in functional parts. PA12 provides good dimensional stability; PA11 offers superior flexibility and impact resistance; glass-filled nylon increases strength and heat resistance. The sintering process creates strong, slightly porous parts ideal for snap-fits and living hinges.

Applications

Common in automotive (ducts, brackets), medical (surgical guides), robotics (housings, gears), and consumer electronics (enclosures). Suitable for low-to-mid volume production and functional prototyping.

Customization

DFM consultation, custom color matching, and secondary operations like CNC machining or chemical smoothing are available.

FAQ

What is the difference between PA12 and PA11?

PA11 is more ductile and impact-resistant, while PA12 offers slightly better moisture resistance and dimensional stability.

Can SLS parts be used in final products?

Yes, SLS nylon is often used for end-use parts due to its durability.

What is the minimum wall thickness?

Typically 0.5mm, but we advise DFM for your specific design.

How accurate are the parts?

±0.2%~0.3%/mm, with a minimum of ±0.1mm.

Do you offer bulk production?

Yes, we can handle volumes from prototype to hundreds of units.
