Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a generative layer construction process and supports product development with its speed. The model is constructed via local sintering or melting of layers of powdered material using focused laser radiation. In this way, any three-dimensional geometries can be created without supports. With SLS, detailed functional prototypes or series can be produced very quickly, starting from batch size 1. This leads to an accelerated product development, a reduction in risks and a shortening of time to market.

Materials

Quality materials and perfectly maintained equipment guarantee the highest level of form and fit accuracy for your parts. Our high-tech equipment receives only the best manufacturer materials, which have been tested by us for a long time. Currently, you can choose at 1zu1 from the laser sintering materials polyamide and polyamide with glass reinforcement. Through the Prototal Group, however, we can offer you additional materials such as flame-retardant polyamide and polyamide with carbon fibers. You can find a complete overview of the range of materials for all 3D printing technologies in the Prototal Group here. As special technologies, 1zu1 also offers flexible SLS materials and FDR technology for particularly detailed applications.

Surface finishes

Here at 1zu1 we can treat master models, duplicated parts and serial parts with special surface techniques according to customer requirements . We finish the prototypes and serial parts via EDM texturing, high gloss, special effects (metallic, silver, partial) or subsequent varnishing.

We can also accommodate individual color samples or color requests (RAL, NCS, Pantone). For this purpose, we offer a wide range of surface treatment processes in manual finishing, depending on the initial technology. Each process can be applied individually, in combination, partially or fully, according to RAL or NCS.

The possibility of individual printing, laser marking as well as hot foil stamping is also available at 1zu1 in-house. Put us to the test!

Systems


At 1zu1

we currently have 13 SLS machines for plastics with different materials at your disposal. We are constantly investing in new machine technologies. On all machines we realize build layers from 40 - 100 µm and wall thicknesses from 0.22 up to 0.65 mm. Previously visible layers disappear more and more, clean and smooth sidewalls are created, fine or large parts can be produced even more accurately. We start daily with all materials. Our standard lead times are 3 days. Larger dimensions or quantities on request.
