21-Hour Cycle
SLS 3D Printer
QLS260 Fast Cycle SLS 3D Printer
Print Faster: Open Platform with 21-hour SLS Cycle
Print Faster, Print More: Unleash Unmatched Throughput
Industry-Leading Speed: The QLS 260 boasts a revolutionary 21-hour cycle time, minimising downtime and masimizing your daily print output. With a short cooling period of only 2 hours, you can move from print to post-processing quickly, keeping your production line efficient.
Freedom to Choose,
Power to Create
Unlike closed systems, the QLS 260 is an open platform, giving you the freedom to explore a vast selection of materials. This includes a range of popular options like nylons (Polyamides), PP, PBT, and TPU. Additionally, the printer excels with recycled powders from HP and EOS, promoting sustainability and extending the life of your printing materials.
Invest Smarter, Print Stronger
The QLS 260 is designed with affordability in mind. It boasts one of the lowest entry points in the professional SLS market. Furthermore, its efficient operation keeps costs down with a low powder refresh rate of just 20%. The open platform compatibility with third-party materials allows for further cost savings compared to proprietary systems. Overall, the QLS 260 offers the lowest total cost of ownership for your industrial SLS printing needs.
