Industrial technology
Industrial components and tooling with SLS
Jigs, fixtures, machine components, spare parts and low-volume production for industrial technology. Parts are built to order from CAD files, with an engineering review on every request.
Typical parts
Tooling and parts that keep production running
Parts needed in small numbers, often at short notice, and shaped to one specific machine or product.
-
Jigs and fixtures
Nests, locating fixtures and assembly aids shaped to the part, light enough for operators to handle easily.
-
Machine guards and covers
Covers, guards and panels shaped to the machine, with viewing cut-outs and mounting points.
-
Spare and replacement parts
Replacements for discontinued or hard-to-source polymer parts, made from CAD data or drawings.
-
Conveyor and packaging components
Guides, star wheels, format parts and grippers for conveying and packaging lines.
-
Custom housings
Enclosures for controllers, sensors and instruments, with screw bosses, openings for cable glands and snap-fit lids.
-
Low-volume production parts
End-use polymer parts in quantities where a mold would not pay off.
Why SLS
Why laser sintering suits industrial parts
Industrial parts are often needed in small numbers, quickly and in shapes that fit one specific machine. SLS makes that economical without tooling.
-
No support structures
Housings, guides and fixtures with undercuts and enclosed features are built without supports.
-
Nesting for batches
Mixed orders of fixtures, spare parts and housings can share a single build.
-
Complex internal channels
Air and vacuum paths and cable routes can run inside the part.
-
Lattice lightweighting
Large fixtures and guards keep their stiffness with less weight to lift and mount.
-
Part consolidation
Assemblies of brackets, spacers and covers become one part, with fewer fasteners to work loose.
-
Fast iterations without tooling
Adjust a fixture or format part after the first trial and build the next version without new tooling.
Engineering considerations
What to plan for
Production equipment has to work every shift. We review these points with you before quoting.
-
Wear and load
Polyamide is tough but softer than metal. For high-wear contacts, we discuss replaceable pads, inserts or a different material.
-
Temperature and chemicals
Operating temperature, oils, coolants and cleaning agents are checked against the material datasheet.
-
Electrical and fire requirements
Housings near electrical equipment can carry fire-behavior requirements; a flame-retardant grade is then the material to discuss.
-
Design rules
Minimum wall thickness, hole sizes, clearances and powder escape holes apply to every part.
-
Tolerances
Accuracy depends on geometry, size and build orientation. Locating features and fits are agreed in the engineering review; we do not quote generic tolerance values.
Materials & platform
Materials for industrial parts
PA 12 is our primary material. Every material is shown with its current status.
-
PA 12
Primary material Status: CommissioningThe default for fixtures, housings, guides and spare parts.
-
PA 12 GB
Status: PlannedGlass-bead-filled for stiff fixtures and gauges with stable dimensions.
-
PA 12 FR
Status: PlannedA flame-retardant grade for housings and covers with fire-behavior requirements.
-
TPU
Status: PlannedA flexible elastomer for bumpers, grips, seals and damping elements.
Specific powder grades are confirmed per project. Datasheets are shared on request, and we publish property values only once they are verified.

How it works
From CAD file to finished part
Every request is quoted by an engineer, not by an algorithm. You get a clear answer on what can be built, how, and at what cost.
-
CAD upload
Send STEP, STL or 3MF files, or drawings, with quantity, material and application details through the secure form.
-
Engineering review
An engineer checks manufacturability, build orientation, material fit and any design changes worth considering.
-
Quotation
You receive a written quotation with price, lead time and the recommendations from the review. If the part is outside our scope, we tell you why.
-
Production
After your approval, parts are built, depowdered, finished as agreed and checked before dispatch.
