Swiss 3D printing OEM Sintratec reported that 2023 was the corporate’s most profitable enterprise yr since its basis, with a internet gross sales enhance of greater than 60 p.c. With the market entry of the modular Sintratec All-Materials Platform, the corporate has been capable of provide its prospects a singular multi-material answer within the discipline of selective laser sintering.
“We’re very happy with this achievement and want to thank our prospects for his or her continued confidence in us, and our international community of companions who’ve made this success a actuality,” stated Sintratec co-founder and CEO Dominik Solenicki. With improvements on the horizon, the Swiss machine producer seems to be set for continued success sooner or later.
Sintratec emerged in 2014 as a crowd-funded startup that developed the world’s first meeting equipment within the discipline of selective laser sintering (SLS). As we speak, nearly 10 years later, the corporate has grown right into a profitable 3D printing producer for mid-range SLS techniques. Most not too long ago, the OEM launched its All-Materials Platform with the highly effective Sintratec S3 printer and separate construct modules that allow simplified materials adjustments and scalability.
Regardless of unstable market circumstances and uncertainty within the provide chain, 2023 marked a brand new enterprise milestone for Sintratec, with a number of new distribution offers bringing the machines to extra prospects than ever earlier than.
Amongst different achievements, Sintratec turned a part of the ColdMetalFusion alliance, by supporting through its techniques the method that permits metals and polymers to be 3D printed in the identical system through laser sintering of sure metallic powders ColdMetalFusion is an alliance of business leaders with a long time of expertise within the fields of sintering, 3D printing and classical industrial manufacturing. Collectively, the Alliance members present providers, tools, supplies, software program and know-how to prospects within the metallic manufacturing business.
This revolution is comparable not directly to the introduction of sure metallic filament extrusion processes to inexpensive filament extrusion 3D printers, de facto opening a completely new market phase to metallic AM, which nevertheless has not but lived as much as its full potential. The businesses within the ColdMetalFusion Alliance are betting that elevated geometric capabilities of SLS know-how will assist make this know-how a critical, but way more cost-effective, competitor to metallic PBF.
