Instant Quote SLS 3D Printing Services

SLS.Market provides the 3D printing and post-processing of Nylon PA 12 parts with instant quotes on costs, production time, and shipping. Simply upload a 3D design file for an instant quote, and decide if the quote is suitable for your business. Our software determines the size and complexity of your print and prices it with the finish, optional dyeing and the delivery speed you choose. Send the order preview for confirmation; we check the files, add shipping and begin processing your order.

When you order 3D printing online through SLS.market, not only are high-performance parts at an affordable price the guarantee. Customers know the exact cost of 3D printing with instant calculation of cost per part, as well as the production time of the delivery speed you choose. Take advantage of a cutting-edge 3D printer of FORMIGA quality by EOS, and the perfect finishing of products by the DyeMansion Powershot DUAL. SLS.market quickly processes orders for fast turnarounds, with our headquarters serving worldwide from central Europe in the Czech Republic.

Nylon PA 12 / polyamide 12 is an exceptional material for the production of functional parts across industries. These include watertight applications without additional post-processing, and widespread use in industrial manufacturing processes. Nylon 12 has excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and impact resistance. This makes it also ideal for building gears, bearings, bushings, conveyor components, and similar products.

We use the DyeMansion Powershot DUAL to ensure all items are ready for use after 3D printing. This state-of-the-art blasting system perfectly cleans and smooths surfaces, making it ideal for functional, aesthetic, and high-value parts. The machine blasts and polishes; it does not color parts. Dyeing is a separate, optional step afterwards, using liquid dyes from the dye maker TCN in the shades of our color catalog (see the Colors page). Hardware and software automation dramatically reduce post-processing times. This helps to ensure every one of your parts receive the same finish, time-after-time for consistent, high-volume manufacturing.

No. Chemical (vapor) smoothing is not part of our service. Every part is blasted and polished in a DyeMansion Powershot DUAL, which is included in the price, and can optionally be dyed with liquid dyes from the dye maker TCN. The result is a clean, even, matte surface. Vapor smoothing of PA 12 is offered as a separate process by other providers; we do not offer it.

SLS 3D printers use a high-power laser to draw each layer of a 3D design into a bed of powder. In our case, the powder is white Nylon PA 12. The laser sintering process binds the powder particles together, forming solid structures. This occurs as the build plate of the printer lowers into the print bed after printing each layer. A powder recoater then spreads new powder onto the previous layer, with a layer thickness typically between 50 and 200 microns. When printed parts complete, items are de-powdered, and much of the remaining powder is recyclable. Printed parts can then go through professional finishing machines to perfectly clean and smooth products, and can be dyed afterwards in a separate step.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing is the most common additive manufacturing technology, and typically very precise. SLS mostly often functions to produce highly complex geometries, including parts with balanced property profiles and strong structures. It has a dimensional tolerance of 0.3% and a lower limit of ± 0.3 mm. The lasers and galvanometers enable precise control, while additional factors determine overall accuracy. These include the optical performance of the laser, print parameters and powder settings, and environmental conditions. 

Not every design is a match for powder-bed printing: closed hollow cells trap powder, very large parts exceed the build chamber, and some applications call for a different material. If a part does not suit SLS, we also print filament (FDM) and resin (SLA/DLP). Just tell us about the part and we advise on the right technology for it.
