Suzy Sinterit’s newest selective-laser-sintering (SLS) 3D printer is optimized for polyamide-12, which the company says 80 percent of SLS users employ. The Suzy offers fast, precise and repeatable printing with up to a 75-micron layer thickness.
What’s new? The Suzy printer, which is appropriate for prototyping or end-use parts. Compared with its predecessor, the Lisa X, it has the same build space and core dimensions, and improved laser control, an optimized recoating process for smoother prints, refined thermal management to support higher speeds, and a more efficient design. Material compatibility will be expanded in coming months, beginning with PP.
Benefits Increased speed — Sinterit says the Suzy is 35 percent faster than the Lisa X — at a lower price, thanks to a new design and the elimination of little-used features. The Lisa X will continue to be offered for customers who use multiple materials and settings. Sinterit is represented in the U.S. by Burton Precision.
