Nylon SLS Information
We have the largest capacity of Nylon SLS (selective laser sintering) in London, which provides us with an unbeatable 2 day production time and maintain highly accurate and consistent results at competitive prices.
Nylon SLS is both strong and flexible, making it a favourite for a wide variety of industries. It produces fine white objects with almost no visible laser lines and requires no support material. To achieve the very best from all of Nylon SLS’s amazingly versatile properties, it’s important to make sure you are receiving it at it’s highest quality. Not all Nylon SLS is the same.
To help you get a sense of some of the material properties of Nylon SLS, we have produced Sample Swatch, that demonstrates flexibility and thicknesses.
Our fleet of EOS P1 and P3 machines run on Nylon PA2200 powder, and we mix a healthy 1:1 ratio of new to used powder, and slice the data into 0.1mm layers with optimal laser parameters to ensure you receive the finest result this technology can offer.
Dyeing
We can dye Nylon SLS objects in a range of 17 standard colours. This is an industrial process, developed specifically for the material which produces an even, consistent and colour fast result. This process also provides 0.2mm colour penetration beneath the surface of the object, allowing for excellent durability. The dyed parts are also skin safe and UV resistant.
This process adds 1 week to the production time of your parts. If you are interested in having your Nylon SLS parts dyed, please include this request when you send us your files and we will provide you with the additional cost of dyeing.
Spray Painting
Nylon parts can be spray painted, but for best results they will require sanding, priming or even Vibro Finishing before applying the final coat. We do not offer spray painting as an in-house service, but we can advise on how to do this yourself, or use one of our partners who achieve a very high quality standard of finish.
