SUZY – The SLS 3D Printer the Market Has Been Waiting For
The 4th generation of Sinterit SLS 3D printers has arrived! Meet Suzy – the newest member of our compact line of printers. Suzy combines speed, precision, and affordability, catering to the growing demands of industrial clients, the education sector, and service providers, making it an easy choice for both prototyping and production.
One powder, unlimited possibilities
Suzy has been optimized for PA12 Industrial, a high-strength material that provides the mechanical properties required for end-use parts production and quality suitable for prototyping. This polyamide 12-based powder is the most popular material in the Sinterit range and the most popular material type of powder-based additive technologies, from SLS through binder jetting to MJF. This allows us to cover 80% of all the printing applications.
Focusing on PA12 Industrial allowed for significant improvements in productivity – Suzy is up to 35% faster, which allows for large builds to be completed within 24 hours. Combined with the closed environment it enables seamless, batch-after-batch printing.
Accessibility for everyone – The Core Idea Behind SUZY
In 2014 Sinterit introduced Lisa, the first compact SLS printer, even small businesses could afford. Today, over 10 years later we’re taking entry-level SLS 3D printers to the next level. Suzy will be available on the market with a starting price of €17,590.00 SRP, marking not only a technological breakthrough but also an economic one in Sinterit’s portfolio.
While our first printer provided only a limited printing volume, Suzy sports the same capacity as Lisa X – 130x180x330mm. Never before have affordable SLS printers allowed for such substantial builds.
The groundbreaking pricing of Sinterit PA12 Industrial will also make sure to keep your operational costs down, making it an attractive option for a wide range of users, from small companies and educational institutions to service providers with huge printer farms.
Taking into account a low investment cost, blazing-fast printing speed and a large build volume this also means the best ROI in its class.
Technical achievements of our new 3D SLS Printer
Over a decade of experience in manufacturing SLS 3D printers helped us implement superior temperature management – new mechanical features ensure optimal heat distribution and the best results in its market segment with unrivalled repeatability.
A key advantage of Suzy however is the high quality of its prints. The layer height is set to 75μm making the resolution of the printouts best in class and allowing for a smooth surface, matching and even exceeding the quality of Lisa X printouts. Users can be confident that each printed component will meet rigorous industrial specifications.
Suzy offers the same, big build volume as Lisa X, meaning that current users of the previous model will not face any changes in production dimensions. This consistency ensures smooth integration into existing production lines and continuous workflow without the need for adjustments.
Designed for you. Every you.
Industrial and Factory Clients
For companies involved in low-to-medium batch production of end-use parts, Suzy is the ideal tool. By using PA12 Industrial, the prints not only achieve the necessary durability but also meet the essential mechanical parameters required for critical components in machinery and devices.
The Educational Sector
Suzy is also perfectly suited for educational institutions. Students learning about modern 3D printing technologies can benefit from a machine that not only demonstrates the production process but also provides a practical example of advanced material applications in engineering. The simplified system makes the learning process clearer and more accessible.
Service Providers
Service providers specializing in 3D printing with PA12 material will find in Suzy an excellent tool for expanding their service offerings and enhancing production efficiency. Upcoming dedicated service plans and new printer sets, which will soon be available, will allow for the creation of flexible offers tailored to a variety of customer budgets.
R&D
The high printing speed and resolution of the printouts combined with low material cost make Suzy a great choice for designers as well, allowing for same-day, high-quality functional prototypes.
Additionally…
And what if you’d like to go one step further? Vapour smoothing would be a great addition to your SLS printer. It makes the parts black and semi-glossy, and closes the pours on the surface of the powder. In one word? Vapour smoothing elevates your printed parts to near-injection moulded parts.
To sum up
The new Suzy printer is a direct response to the rapidly evolving 3D printing market. By optimizing its system to work exclusively with PA12 Industrial, Suzy guarantees the highest print quality while maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The 35% increase in print speed, combined with its 20% greater affordability, will appeal to designers, industrial users, educators, and service providers alike.
Stay tuned for further updates on technical specifications, ordering conditions, and detailed information on the new pricing and printer sets. Suzy is not just a state-of-the-art machine – it’s a symbol of a new era in 3D printing where quality, efficiency, and support from Sinterit come together to empower your innovation!
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the main differences between Suzy and Lisa X?
A: The differences come from the approach to designing the devices:
Lisa X supports PA11 powders, 3rd party materials and allows for parameter adjustments. These features will be appreciated by advanced users, who need the versatility and openness of the system. This makes Lisa X better for the most demanding applications and research purposes.
Suzy was designed to be the best entry point into the world of SLS – it focuses on a single material that allows it to cover most of the customer needs. Users will appreciate Suzy’s even higher print quality and rapid printing, which make it perfect for all but the most demanding applications.
Q: Is Suzy suitable for educational purposes?
A: Yes! SLS 3D printers are educators’ dream come true, allowing for generative design and topology optimization, enabled by high isotropy and lack of need for support structures. Additionally, a closed system makes for a great first-contact SLS for students.
Q: What advantages does Suzy have over the competition?
A: The key features of Suzy are printing speed, quality and affordability allowing for a truly great entry point. Over a decade of designing printers and talking to our customers also allowed for a lot of quality-of-life improvements making printer handling intuitive and quick. All of this would be meaningless without an adequate build volume which Suzy offers.
Q: I never worked with SLS – will I be able to handle Suzy?
A: Of course! SLS in a lot of aspects can be significantly easier than SLA or FDM – you don’t have to worry about infills, overhangs, print bed adhesion or clogging the nozzle. Additionally, the printer will guide you step by step through the entire process with onscreen instructions.
Q: What sets will be available for Suzy?
A: These are the available sets:
SUZY Starter Pack – (includes the printer, set of tools and set of consumables) The most affordable SLS 3D printer package on the market
SUZY Basic Set – (includes the printer, set of tools, set of consumables, foldable cleaning tray, automatic Powder Sieve and SLS Sandblaster) Basic set of products at an accessible price, that allows you to start working with an SLS 3D printer.
