How Hardware Startups Use Selective Laser Sintering for Production
In episode 124 of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how selective laser sintering (SLS) is evolving from rapid prototyping to end-use production for hardware startups. They dive into a case study of a robotics company that printed 5,000 custom gripper jaws using SLS, cutting lead time from 8 weeks to 3 days and tooling costs by 90 percent. Lucas explains the material science behind nylon 12 and glass-filled variants, while Luna questions the trade-offs in surface finish and part strength compared to injection molding. The episode covers SLS design rules, cost per part…
