Empower medical innovation with precision SLS 3D printing

SLS offers high resolution, strong mechanical properties, and geometric freedom — all critical for creating accurate, patient-specific medical devices like insoles or surgical tools.

Yes. You can go directly from 3D foot scans to ready-to-wear insoles with no molds or manual shaping. This eliminates the need for handwork, reduces production time, and allows you to respond to individual patient needs with a fully digital workflow.

With Lisa X, you can print a full tray of insoles or guides overnight. Most clinics and labs achieve same-day or next-day turnaround.

Materials like PA12 Industrial, PA11 Onyx and Flexa Performance are commonly used in wearable devices and offer high comfort and flexibility. While they are not officially certified as medical-grade, they are widely adopted in orthotic applications where non-invasive skin contact is required. Always validate materials locally for regulatory compliance. Some certifications have to be acquired based on individual setups and processes, so there is a potential for customers to adopt more materials.

Very durable. SLS parts exhibit excellent strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability — far exceeding what’s achievable with FDM.

Yes. Many clinics switch from hand-laminated or milled insoles to SLS to reduce labor, eliminate molds, and speed up customization.

For small batches or personalized products, SLS is faster, more cost-effective, and fully digital. There’s no need to create molds, which removes the barrier of tooling costs and long lead times. It also allows much more flexibility for frequent design changes.

Absolutely. You can edit the digital model and reprint within hours, making it easy to react to fit issues or updated clinical recommendations.

Not necessarily. Our printers are designed to be user-friendly and come with full onboarding support. Most users are up and running within days.

SLS delivers excellent dimensional accuracy, especially for parts with fine features or complex curves — ideal for surgical tools and orthopedic devices.

PA11 Onyx and Flexa Performance are best for wearable insoles due to their flexibility and strength. PA12 Industrial is a good choice for rigid components like shells or mounts.

Yes. Sinterit supports materials with a range of Shore hardness — from flexible (Flexa Performance) to semi-rigid (PA11 Onyx), enabling true comfort and function.

Definitely. Many research institutions use Sinterit printers to prototype wearable medical devices, test material behavior, and simulate real-use conditions for patient-specific components. Open parameters also make it possible to run experimental workflows and material adaptation studies.
