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.
