Overview: How SLS 3D Printing Works?
The Basics of SLS 3D Printing:
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter powdered material (typically nylon or polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure. It is similar to selective laser melting; the two are instantiations of the same concept but differ in technical details.
Why Choose SLS 3D Printing With Unionfab
- Unionfab has imported EOS equipment, as well as domestic nylon machines and materials with high cost performance to meet the needs of different customers.
- Unionfab can provide customers with eight SLS 3D Printing materials, including SLS Nylon 11 (Black), SLS Nylon 11 (White), SLS Nylon 12 (White), SLS Nylon 12 (Black), Nylon 12 Glass-Filled (Black), Nylon 12 Glass-Filled (Offwhite), PA6GF and TPU. At the same time, we jointly develop unique materials for aerospace, medical and other applications with partners to help our customers expand the application scope and depth of additive manufacturing.

Features of SLS 3D Printing
Rapid Turnaround
Parts can typically be shipped in 3-4 days, allowing for faster design iterations and speed to market.
Parts Production
SLS is capable of producing end-use parts on-demand, increasing throughput.
Complex Geometry
Geometries can be built more easily due to the 3D printing process, adding complexity without additional cost.
Scalability
SLS can make a single part or component as easily as dozens of production pieces.
Precision
We use the latest generation of SLS technologies to meet tolerances of +/- 0.010" or +/- 0.002" per inch, whichever is greater. Please see our Manufacturing Standards for more details.

Scale Effect
The unit cost and lead time will not be reduced as much as casted or molded parts.
SLS Design Guidelines
| US | Metric | |
|---|---|---|
| Max Size | 25.0 in. x 12.6 in. x 20.5 in. | 635mm x 320mm x 520 mm |
Note: These design guidelines are for general reference only. Actual manufacturability may vary depending on specific part geometry and material.
SLS Available Materials
TPU
TPU is an SLS flexible plastic material designed for weather resistance, flexibility, high strength, and wear resistance. It is suitable for assembly and fit checks, functional prototype testing, and low-volume end-use plastic parts, with selection based on the part geometry, load case, and finishing requirements.
- Process:
- SLS
- Maximum Size:
- 380 × 380 × 420 mm
- Colors:
- White
Available Finishes
Default:
- SLS parts are de-powdered with a sandblasting process and manual powder removal. Internal holes may be drilled to size if accessible. The finish is white matte (fine sugar-cube).
Other:
- Dyeing
- Vapor Smoothing
- Media Tumbled
- Nickel Plating

SLS 3D Printing Applications
Prototypes
With SLS, the prototype can be made using nylon material with great functionality. Fast turnaround makes it a good choice for functional prototyping.
Customized Products
The speed and versatility of SLS let variable production of customized gifts/samples for different users become possible.
Batched Products
SLS can be applied to make high-quality small batched products from 1-10,000 units, ideal for small businesses that wishes to test the market's reaction to their newly developed products.
