Revolutionising Prototyping with Overnight SLS 3D Printing

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is at the heart of our 3D printing services, offering unrivalled quality and versatility for engineers and designers. But what truly sets us apart is that we are the only prototyping bureau in the UK offering overnight SLS printing, giving you rapid access to high-quality parts without compromising reliability.

Introducing Matrix: Your Online 3D Printing Platform

To further streamline the prototyping process, we now offer Matrix, our online platform for SLS, SLA, and DLP 3D printing. With Matrix, customers can:

  • Instant Quotes: Upload files and get instant pricing.
  • Seamless Ordering: Place orders in just a few clicks, with clear lead times.
  • Exclusive Savings: Get a 10% discount on all orders placed through Matrix.
  • Minimum Order Value: Benefit from a reduced minimum order value of £40 on all orders placed through Matrix (compared to £130 for non-Matrix orders).
  • Material Selection: Access our industry-leading range of materials, including our exclusive high-temperature SLA material, Matrix HT300, which has an HDT of 300oC.

Matrix is designed to simplify the ordering process, giving you more control while maintaining the exceptional service you’ve come to expect from us.

Why Choose SLS?

SLS is a 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered material layer by layer, creating durable and functional parts directly from your 3D CAD files. Its benefits include:

  • Complex Geometries: Produce intricate and highly detailed components without the need for support structures.
  • Durable and Functional: Ideal for prototyping, tooling, and end-use parts thanks to its strength and versatility.
  • Customisable: Perfect for small production runs with options to personalise designs for specific needs.

We offer Matrix PA12 CR, a sustainable, carbon-reduced material that balances strength, flexibility, and environmental responsibility.

Our Unique Overnight Service

Speed and efficiency are critical in fast-paced industries, and our overnight SLS printing service ensures you get the parts you need when you need them. Here’s how it works:

  • Submit Your Files via Matrix to obtain your quote and to place your order: Upload your 3D CAD files by 2 pm using our online platform, Matrix.
  • Printing Overnight: Your parts are printed using our advanced SLS technology.
  • Next-Day Dispatch: Orders are dispatched the following morning for delivery via Next Day Delivery, or by our electric vehicle if you’re within a 15-mile radius.

This service is perfect for time-sensitive projects, allowing you to stay on schedule without compromising quality. This is great value if you are up against tight time schedules, we also have longer lead times for less challenging timescales or for budget conscious projects.

Applications for SLS

The versatility of SLS makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Prototyping: Rapidly iterate designs with functional prototypes.
  • Tooling and Jigs: Create robust, customised tooling for manufacturing and assembly.
  • End-Use Parts: From aerospace to automotive, produce small batches of ready-to-use components.

Benefits of Partnering with Prototype Projects

In addition to our unique overnight service and Matrix platform, we offer a host of advantages to our clients:

  • Sustainable Materials Our Matrix PA12 CR is a greener choice without compromising performance.
  • Flexible lead times:
    • Overnight (part size restrictions)
