SLS STARTS HERE
what is sls?
SLS stands for Selective Laser Sintering it is a powerful 3D Printing Technology that uses a laser to fuse fine powder—typically nylon—layer by layer into strong, functional parts. Because the surrounding powder supports the print, SLS can produce complex geometries, internal channels, and moving assemblies without support structures. The result is durable, production-ready components with excellent mechanical properties, making SLS ideal for prototyping, low-volume manufacturing, and end-use parts.
Industrial-Grade SLS, Now Within Reach
Small and medium businesses can now manufacture industrial-quality, functional parts in-house without relying on expensive external service providers.
Benefits of Having Your Own SLS X Machine
Freedom from Costly Service Providers
No more waiting days or weeks for parts. Avoid high per-part pricing and minimum order constraints imposed by service bureaus.
No Design Constraints
Part orientation, overhangs, and feature direction no longer limit your design freedom.
SLS Now Accessible to Educational Institutes
SLS X brings industrial SLS technology to academic environments at a significantly lower cost, making it practical for colleges, universities, and training institutes to adopt advanced additive manufacturing.
Scale with Multiple SLS Machines
Thanks to its significantly lower cost, SLS X allows businesses and institutes to deploy more than one SLS machine at a fraction of the investment required by other manufacturers.
Maximum Build Utilization
Pack the full build chamber with parts and produce multiple components in a single print cycle.
Tooling-Free Manufacturing
Produce functional, production-grade parts without investing in costly molds or tooling—ideal for low-volume and custom manufacturing.

NYLON PA-12
Nylon PA12 is the gold-standard material for SLS 3D printing because it perfectly balances Strength, Precision, and Reliability. It produces parts with excellent mechanical strength, high impact resistance, and long-term dimensional stability, making it ideal for functional and end-use components.
Locanam offers high-quality Nylon PA-12 powder in bulk quantities at an accessible and cost-effective price.

SLS X Machine Operations Guideline
1) Connect the power plug and turn the machine ON
2) Release the latch and open the top box
3) Press the movement buttons on the Home Screen and Home the A and Z axes
4) Calculate the part height, multiply by 1.5mm and then add 20mm of extra powder to fill the A-Bed

SLS X Machine Installation Guideline
Section 1: Receiving and Unloading the Machine
1) Initial Handling
When the machine arrives via the transport vehicle, it will be securely packed inside a wooden crate/box. Carefully slide or move the wooden box toward the edge of the vehicle's loading deck
2) Forklift Unloading
Use a forklift to lift the crate. Ensure that the forklift forks are properly aligned and inserted into the designated slots at the bottom of the wooden box
3) Forklift Capacity
The forklift must have a minimum lifting capacity well above 150 kg to ensure safe handling
4) Placement
Carefully transport the crate using the forklift and place it directly at its designated installation spot in the machine room

SLS X Maintenance Guidelines
Section 1: Optical & Vision System Maintenance
Precision optical elements require extra care to prevent scratches, signal distortion, or tracking errors during machine operation
1) Component Isolation
Ensure that the laser source and camera systems are completely de-energized before accessing the lenses
2) Cleaning Protocol
Carefully clean the protective glass surfaces, Infrared (IR) lenses, Galvanometer (Galvo) lenses, and camera lenses
3) Materials & Reagents
Exclusively utilize a soft, high-grade, lint-free cotton cloth combined with glass cleaner chemical
4) Precaution
Apply gentle, circular motions. Avoid excessive force to eliminate the risk of micro-scratches on sensitive anti-reflective coatings

Troubleshooting Guidelines
Section 1 : Thermal & Material Errors
1) Powder Sticking or Dragging
Signs : Sticky powder surface; spreader removing chunks of the layer
Cause : High Temperatures (exceeding softening point)
Solution : Reduce Halogen Temperature immediately
2) Powder Discoloration (Browning)
Signs : Powder appears brown/dark during part cleaning
Cause : High Bed Temperatures causing material degradation
Solution : Decrease Bed Temperatures
3) Browning/Hotspots During Print
Signs : Localized darkening of powder on the bed while printing
Cause : High Halogen Temperature or uneven heat distribution
Solution : Reduce Halogen Temperature
