SLS Plastic 3D Printing

Advantages of SLS

SLS 3D printing allows for the fabrication of complex parts that, in the past, have been impossible or cost prohibitive to produce through traditional manufacturing methods. We use a strong and durable Nylon polymer that is suitable for a wide variety of industries and applications and is also FDA approved for medical use. At 3D Logics we utilize the most advanced SLS 3D printing equipment to provide you with Additive Manufacturing solutions.

Production and Prototyping

Precision plastic parts to meet the demands of both production and prototyping

Complex Geometries

The SLS process allows for intricate design details not possible with other 3D printing technologies or traditional manufacturing methods

Durable + Strong

High strength Nylon meets the requirements of medical and industrial applications
