3D Printers - Powder/SLS
Selective Laser Sinter
SLS 3D printing fuses powder layer by layer. The unused material supports the parts during printing so you can create complex, interconnecting designs with no need for support structures.
Due to varying thermal expansion rates for different materials, the largest parts size printable in the Fuse Series printers varies. The largest part sizes achievable are given in the table below:
| Material | Largest Part Size |
|---|---|
| Nylon 12 Powder | 159.8 × 159.8 × 295.5 mm |
| Nylon 12 GF Powder | 160.1 × 160.1 × 297.3 mm |
| Nylon 12 Tough Powder | 158.8 × 158.8 × 293.5 mm |
| Nylon 12 White Powder | 159.8 × 159.8 × 293.8 mm |
| Nylon 11 Powder | 158.6 × 158.6 × 294.4 mm |
| Nylon 11 CF Powder | 162.0 × 162.0 × 287.6 mm |
| TPU 90A Powder | 152.1 × 152.1 × 294.9 mm |
| Polypropylene Powder | 159.4 × 159.4 × 296.0 mm |
