SLS 1518
SLS
The Supermaker SLS1518 is the most compact desktop SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printer on the market. With a footprint of just 0.33 m², it fits in a lab or workshop like a small refrigerator — while delivering truly industrial SLS performance.
Designed for research labs, universities, professional studios and small businesses that want access to SLS technology without the costs and complexity of traditional industrial systems, the SLS1518 produces parts in nylon, TPU, carbon fiber and fiberglass without any support structure.
Its German thermal control system (high-precision infrared sensors, chamber uniformity to 0.5-1 degrees C) and its integrated post-processing station (sorting, sieving, powder mixing) make it a complete, clean and efficient SLS solution.
At O&D 3D Printing in Baelen, we use the Supermaker SLS1518 for projects requiring free geometries and functional parts made of industrial-grade nylon.
COMPATIBLE MATERIALS
PA12 (Nylon 12) — mechanical and chemical resistance, functional parts
PA11 (Nylon 11) — bio-based, flexible and resistant
TPU — flexible and elastic parts, soles, seals
CF (Carbon Fiber) — lightweight, high-rigidity parts
GF (Fiberglass) — improved mechanical and thermal properties
KEY ADVANTAGES OF SLS TECHNOLOGY
No support needed — the unsintered powder naturally supports the part
Free geometries — internal cavities, integrated assemblies, complex forms
Powder recycling — closed system, 90% reduction in labor
Batch printing — multiple parts simultaneously in the same room
Integrated post-processing — automatic sorting, sieving and mixing
USE CASE — FOR WHOM?
Research laboratories — SLS prototypes in nylon at no industrial cost
Universities & schools — educational access to SLS technology
Engineering & R&D — functional parts without supports, complex assemblies
Small batches — limited quantity production of nylon parts
Drones, robotics — lightweight structures made of CF or GF nylon
