Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Durable, High-Performance Parts with No Need for Support Structures

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a trusted and highly versatile 3D printing technology, ideal for producing strong, functional prototypes and end-use parts with complex geometries. By using a laser to fuse powdered nylon materials layer by layer, SLS creates parts with excellent mechanical strength, heat and chemical resistance, and consistent performance under load.

At Paragon Rapid Technologies, we use SLS to produce parts that are both tough and accurate—perfect for mechanical assemblies, housings, brackets, ducting, and more. With no need for support structures, SLS allows for intricate designs, nested builds, and faster iterations, making it ideal for product development and low-volume production across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical.

  • High-Strength Functional Parts SLS delivers robust, impact-resistant parts with excellent load-bearing and thermal performance—suitable for demanding real-world applications.
  • Freedom of Design With no need for support structures, complex internal geometries, interlocking parts, and enclosed assemblies can be printed in one build.
  • Efficient Batch Production SLS allows for densely packed build volumes, enabling multiple parts to be printed simultaneously—ideal for short production runs and rapid prototyping.
  • Reliable Nylon Materials Most commonly printed in PA12 or PA11, offering durability, flexibility, chemical resistance, and long-term stability for both prototyping and end-use applications.
