SLS Online Workshop

Discover how industrial SLS 3D printing can be used to produce strong, functional parts for prototyping, tooling, manufacturing and end-use applications.

Join the CREAT3D engineering team live from our Technology Centre for a practical introduction to the complete SLS workflow, from preparing a build through to unpacking, cleaning and finishing printed parts.

No previous SLS or 3D printing experience is required.

Explore if SLS is Right for Your Applications

Selective Laser Sintering enables engineers and manufacturers to produce durable, functional parts without support structures, making it possible to manufacture complex geometries, moving assemblies and multiple components within a single build.

But where does SLS fit, which applications is it best suited to, and what does the complete process actually involve?

During this free online workshop, we’ll take you through the technology, explore real manufacturing applications and show you the complete workflow in practice.


What You'll Learn

During the 60-minute session, we’ll cover:

  • How SLS 3D printing works and where it fits alongside other Additive Manufacturing technologies
  • How to identify suitable applications for SLS
  • Preparing and setting up an SLS build
  • The complete workflow from printing to finished part
  • Unpacking, powder recovery, cleaning and post-processing
  • SLS materials and how to select the right one for your application
  • Real examples of prototypes, production tools, replacement parts and end-use components
  • The differences between the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W and Fuse X1
  • Key considerations when deciding whether to bring SLS production in-house

You’ll also have the opportunity to put your questions directly to the CREAT3D engineering team during the live Q&A.

See the Complete SLS Workflow

We’ll take you inside the CREAT3D Technology Centre to demonstrate the complete Formlabs SLS ecosystem:

Fuse 1+ 30W
See how strong, functional parts are produced using an accessible industrial SLS 3D printing system.

Fuse Sift
Follow the process of unpacking a completed build, recovering powder and preparing material for reuse.

Fuse Blast
See how parts are automatically cleaned and prepared for use, reducing manual post-processing time and improving consistency.

We’ll also introduce the new Formlabs Fuse X1, explaining how it expands the Fuse range for organisations requiring greater capacity, faster throughput and industrial-scale production.

Real Applications, Not Just Theory

This is a practical session focused on how SLS is being used to solve real engineering and manufacturing problems.

We’ll share application examples including:

  • Functional prototypes
  • Production tooling, jigs and fixtures
  • Replacement and MRO parts
  • Housings, covers and protective components
  • Low-volume production parts
  • Complex assemblies and print-in-place mechanisms

You’ll see real components and learn what makes an application well suited to SLS, not simply what the technology can print.


Your Questions Answered Live

The session will conclude with an open Q&A with the CREAT3D team. Ask us about your applications, materials, costs, workflow or anything else you’d like to understand.

We’ll also be live in the Technology Centre so we can take a closer look at the equipment and parts during the discussion. If you already have an application in mind, you can share it when registering or save your questions for the day.

Who Should Attend

Whether you’re completely new to Additive Manufacturing, currently outsourcing parts or considering bringing SLS production in-house, you’re very welcome to join us.

This online workshop is ideal for:

  • Design and production engineers
  • Manufacturing and maintenance teams
  • Operations and continuous improvement managers
  • Product designers and developers
  • Universities, colleges and research facilities
  • Anyone exploring whether SLS could support their organisation
