From digital file to final part on demand


Scale your production with the flexibility of SLS manufacturing. Manufacture tools, jigs, and end-use parts without molds, delays, or compromise

Why choose SLS manufacturing?

SLS unlocks digital manufacturing for short- and medium-volume production. You can print end-use parts, jigs, fixtures, and replacement components directly from CAD files — no tooling, no waiting.
From tooling and maintenance to custom batches, SLS manufacturing is faster, more cost-effective, and more flexible than traditional methods.

What makes the SLS manufacturing process with Sinterit unique?

Tool-free production



Manufacture without molds or tooling — perfect for short-run production and agile development.



SLS enables fast deployment of new parts and custom components without the cost, lead time, or rigidity of traditional mold-based processes. This is ideal for limited batches, design iterations, or product configurations that change frequently. Whether you’re building a test rig, bridge tooling, or even final parts, SLS puts production flexibility directly in your hands.

Zero stock strategy



Digitize your inventory and print what you need, when you need it.



With SLS, you can replace physical stockpiles with digital part libraries and produce components on-demand. This reduces warehouse costs, avoids obsolescence, and enables faster response to unexpected needs. It’s especially powerful for legacy machinery, regional customization, or spares for niche products.

High mechanical performance



Print with PA12 Industrial or PA11.5 for strength, resistance, and longevity.



SLS materials offer mechanical properties close to injection molding — with excellent resistance to wear, impact, and environmental stress. That makes them suitable for real-world use in tools, housings, brackets, or functional assemblies. Your printed parts don’t just look good — they last.

Integrated Industry 4.0 support



Sinterit provides tools and open interfaces that make it easy to integrate our printers into Industry 4.0 environments. Rather than a closed ecosystem, we give manufacturers the APIs, monitoring options, and data outputs needed to connect with MES, ERP, and traceability systems. This approach lets customers build automated job scheduling, production data logging, and cost-per-part analytics on top of their existing infrastructure. It’s a flexible way to scale SLS alongside your digital factory setup.

Application Engineer, Sinterit

As an engineer, what I value most in SLS for small-batch production is the injection-mould-like quality of the parts combined with the ability to print hundreds of them in a single run. We achieve consistent, end-use-ready components without tooling, which means faster turnaround and lower costs for low volumes. The freedom of design, accuracy, and repeatability make SLS not just a prototyping tool, but a reliable production method.

I’m always impressed by how easily SLS scales from a single idea to batches of ready-to-use parts.

Types of SLS production

Small-scale production

  • Ideal for short batches where tooling isn’t justified
  • Fast turnaround — parts ready within hours, not weeks
  • Eliminates MOQ (minimum order quantity) constraints
  • Full design freedom: even complex geometries are printable
  • Perfect for agile teams, startups, and low-volume manufacturers

Mass customisation

  • Personalize each part — no extra cost or delay
  • Print entire batches of individually tailored components
  • Works seamlessly with scan-based workflows and parametric design
  • Reduces waste and inventory by producing on demand
  • Used in applications like custom orthotics, wearables, or fit-specific tools

FAQ – SLS production

What is SLS manufacturing?

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) is a professional 3D printing method where a laser sinters powdered material into solid, durable parts — layer by layer — without the need for supports or molds.

Is SLS cost-effective for low-volume production?

Yes. There are no upfront tooling costs, no minimum order sizes, and parts can be produced directly from CAD — making it ideal for agile, small- and mid-volume production.

Can I print final-use parts?

Absolutely. With materials like PA12 Industrial, PA 11.5, and PA11 CF, SLS delivers parts suitable for mechanical use, wear resistance, and real-world performance.

How does SLS compare to FDM or MJF?

SLS offers better mechanical strength, surface quality, and dimensional repeatability. Unlike FDM, there are no support structures and no visible layers. Compared to MJF, SLS allows greater material flexibility and easier switching between jobs.

Can I produce tooling like jigs or fixtures?

Yes. SLS is perfect for printing custom tooling that would be expensive or time-consuming to machine — including ergonomic jigs, alignment aids, assembly guides, and inserts.

What is the maximum batch size I can produce?

You can run small to medium series of hundreds or even low thousands of parts, especially for components with high customization, variable geometries, or short lifecycles.

How fast can I go from design to part?

With printers like the Lisa X, you can print full trays overnight — up to 14 cm/h in Z height — and have parts ready the next day.

Is post-processing required?

Minimal. Unlike FDM or SLA, SLS doesn’t require support removal. Most parts just need powder cleaning — optionally followed by vapour smoothing or dyeing.

Can I manage multiple materials or jobs?

Yes. Sinterit systems support up to 10 materials, and switching between them is fast — no full disassembly required. Perfect for varied production runs.

Is it suitable for Industry 4.0 environments?

Yes. Sinterit’s ecosystem includes API access, usage monitoring, and integration with production software — ideal for automated or scalable operations.

Is SLS environmentally friendly?

Yes. One of the key advantages of SLS is its efficient use of materials. Unsintered powder can often be recycled and reused in new prints, which significantly reduces material waste compared to subtractive manufacturing methods or single-use casting tools. In addition, SLS can even utilise certain rejected materials from other technologies — such as used MJF powder — giving them a second life while still delivering high-quality results.

What’s the learning curve for using Sinterit printers?

Sinterit systems are designed for easy onboarding. Engineers, operators, or designers typically become self-sufficient after a short training session.

What types of businesses use SLS for production?

From drone manufacturers and automotive suppliers to consumer electronics and medtech startups — SLS is widely adopted where flexibility and speed matter.

Pricing

Below there are approximate costs for some example models.
Be aware that the quotation assumes that there is only one piece printed. In SLS technology, the cost per part will be much lower with a higher number of elements printed at once.
