SLS technology drives Sinterit’s new compact 3D printer

Until recently, the high-speed capabilities of SLS (selective laser sintering) technology could only be had by buying a large industrial-grade 3D printer. Sinterit, a Polish supplier of 3D printers and additive manufacturing peripherals, says that has changed with the introduction of its Lisa X.

The compact printer of thermoplastic parts measures 650 by 610 by 1,200 mm and has a build envelope of 130 by 180 by 330 mm. Lisa X prints at the rate of 10 to 14 mm/hr., thanks to the machine’s 30-W infrared laser and galvo scanner.
