Injection Mold Quality SLS 3D Printing with Vapor Smoothing

LaserMed Technologies continues to expand our advanced manufacturing capabilities with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing using Nylon 12, now paired with vapor smoothing for enhanced surface finish and part performance.

Our Fuse SLS printing platform produces durable, functional polymer parts with exceptional design freedom and fast turnaround—making it an ideal solution for prototypes, tooling, and even medium-volume production without the cost and lead time of mold tooling.

Why SLS Nylon 12?

This advanced manufacturing solution offers:

  • Complex geometries without tooling constraints

  • Strong, functional end-use parts

  • Excellent chemical resistance and durability

  • Fast turnaround from CAD to finished part

  • Cost-effective production for low to medium volumes

Enhanced with Vapor Smoothing

For applications requiring a refined finish, vapor smoothing significantly improves part quality by:

  • Creating a smooth, sealed surface finish

  • Reducing porosity

  • Improving cleanability and moisture resistance

  • Potential for biocompatible applications (application-specific validation required)

See the difference vapor smoothing can make. SLS printed Nylon 12 parts can be transformed from a textured as-printed surface to a smooth, sealed finish that closely resembles injection molded components.

The result is injection mold-quality parts without the upfront tooling investment, giving customers greater flexibility to scale production while reducing development costs and time to market.

From functional prototypes to medium-volume production, LaserMed continues to deliver advanced manufacturing solutions that help customers move faster and manufacture smarter.
