Best Ways to Print It

1.Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) – Our Flagship

Isotropic strength: Laser fuses powder evenly in every direction.
Smooth finish: ±0.3 mm accuracy—minimal sanding needed.
Ready for volume: Batch print hundreds of parts in one build.

2.Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) – Budget Test Parts

Steel or ruby nozzle: Stops fiber abrasion.
Hotend 260–280 °C: Melts the nylon base cleanly.
Slow, steady feeds: 30–40 mm/s cuts layer gaps.

Heads-up: FDM parts work for form-fit tests. For customer-ready strength, switch to zone3Dplus SLS.
