Nylon / SLS

A strategic functional-parts portfolio pathway.

NUSFAB is qualifying SLS equipment and supply partners before publishing a specific machine as a confirmed Australian offer.

Portfolio qualification in progress

Why SLS matters to the NUSFAB portfolio.

Selective Laser Sintering fills the gap between filament extrusion and higher-cost metal processes for many functional polymer parts. The surrounding powder supports the build, allowing complex geometry and dense nesting without conventional printed support structures.

  • Functional nylon prototypes
  • Low-volume production
  • Complex internal / external geometry
  • Efficient nesting of multiple parts
  • PA11 / PA12 class material pathway
Current status

No specific NUSFAB SLS model is represented as confirmed yet.

Supplier screening will consider machine reliability, powder ecosystem, refresh ratio, thermal consistency, service documentation, spare parts, software, safety information and Australian support feasibility.

Target use cases

These are application categories, not claims that a specific machine or material has already been approved for a given regulated use.
