Sintratec SLS 3D Printer

[Brian_Krassenstein]

It seems as if August is the month of the low cost SLS 3D Printer. Earlier in the month we got word that Norge Systems was working on an affordable SLS 3D printer for under $13k. Today we got word that a Swiss company Sintratec is planning to launch an Indiegogo project in October for an SLS 3D printer costing around $5,000. The printer will come in kit form and print in a nylon powder composite material. More details on the company and their printer can be found here: http://3dprint.com/12944/sintratec-s...printer-cheap/

Here are some basic specs for the Sintratec SLS 3D Printer:

• Build Volume: 130x130x130 mm³
• Printer Size: 500x500x300 mm³
• Layer-Height: Most powders have a grain size of 40 to 80 microns.
• Print Speed: 70 mm/s.

Below is an image of the machine:

Update:
Swiss start-up Sintratec is on the brink of starting its Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for its SLS 3D printer. The Sintratec printer, affordable at an amazing $3,999, fits on top of a desk and is the first home-use SLS 3D printer on the market. The company recently won the Swiss UpStart Challenge for its product and business plan, complete with a cash prize that went toward the development of the Sintratec printer. The Indeigogo campaign is expected to kick off in November, and the company hopes to sell about 50 ready-to-assemble kits.

Awesome to see this technology coming down in price to where a hobbyist could potentially justify buying one without plans for a huge production run or using it strictly as a business tool.

Their project is almost funded, only one more machine to reach their goal.
