Fast Cycle Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printer
QLS230 Fast Cycle SLS 3D Printer
Affordable, Fast, and Flexible Industrial SLS 3D Printing
Increase Daily Output with Faster Cycle Times
The QLS 230 delivers a complete print cycle in just 24 hours, with a cooling period of only 2 hours. This significantly reduces downtime compared to traditional SLS printers. Additionally, it utilises a single 30 Watt CO2 laser, eliminating the need for a large and energy-intensive laser system, further contributing to faster throughput.
Maximize Material Options and Sustainability
The QLS 230 is an open platform, offering compatibility with over 10 qualified nylon and metal fusion materials. This allows you to choose the material that best suits your specific application. Furthermore, the printer excels at working with recycled powders from HP and EOS, promoting operational sustainability.
The Most Cost-Effective SLS Solution
The QLS 230 boasts the lowest entry point in the professional SLS market. Combined with its low operating costs, including a powder refresh rate of just 20% and the ability to use third-party materials, the QLS 230 offers the lowest total cost of ownership for industrial SLS 3D printing, making it an exceptional value proposition.
